These Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes combine the savory flavors of classic Philly cheesesteak with the convenience and comfort of sloppy joes. Ground beef is cooked with onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, then simmered in a rich, flavorful sauce before being topped with melted provolone cheese and served on buttery brioche buns for an irresistible sandwich perfect for any casual meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces Provolone cheese slices, chopped (use 6 ounces for a less cheesy option)

Vegetables

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup beef broth

Bread

  • 6 brioche hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper. Mince the brown mushrooms finely to ensure a uniform texture in the sloppy joe mixture.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened and any moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  3. Cook the ground beef: Add the lean ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Add seasonings and thicken: Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with the beef broth until smooth, then pour into the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
  5. Add cheese: Sprinkle chopped provolone cheese over the mixture, stirring gently until the cheese melts completely and becomes creamy throughout the sloppy joe filling.
  6. Prepare buns and serve: Lightly toast the brioche hamburger buns for extra texture and flavor. Spoon generous amounts of the Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the other halves. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) for a healthier option and to reduce excess grease.
  • For a less cheesy version, reduce the provolone cheese to 6 ounces instead of 8 ounces.
  • Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch and prevents sogginess from the saucy filling.
  • Feel free to substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Mushrooms add moisture and umami; finely mincing them helps blend their texture seamlessly with the ground beef.
