Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Dairy
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
Breads
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once browned, drain off any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the mixture: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly throughout the beef and veggies.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the beef mixture in the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and fully incorporated, creating a gooey, cheesy mixture.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the hot cheesesteak sloppy joe mixture onto the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of hot sauce or garlic powder during the sauté step.
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese if preferred.
- To make it lower fat, use lean ground beef and reduce the amount of cheese or use a low-fat version.
- These sloppy joes can be made ahead and reheated; just add a little water or broth when reheating to keep the mixture moist.
- Serve with a side of pickles or coleslaw for a complete meal.
