Cheesesteak Style Sloppy Joes combine the hearty flavors of classic sloppy joes with the savory, melty satisfaction of a cheesesteak sandwich. Ground beef is browned and simmered with sautéed onions and green peppers, enriched with beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then thickened to a luscious sauce and topped with melted American or provolone cheese. Served hot on soft rolls, this comforting sandwich is perfect for a quick, delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 16 ounces ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 ounces beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 4 slices white American or provolone cheese
  • 4 rolls

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Crumble the ground beef into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Drain excess grease from the pan if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Then add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat until the vegetables begin to brown and the onions turn translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked ground beef to the pan. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to mix all flavors evenly and cook for about one minute to blend the ingredients.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch to the pan and stir until it dissolves completely, thickening the beef broth into a savory sauce, about one more minute. If the beef mixture appears dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Melt the Cheese and Serve: Remove the pan from the heat and top the beef mixture with slices of white American or provolone cheese. Allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the rolls and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, replace the beef broth with beef stock or add a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a more robust taste.
  • You can toast the rolls before assembling for added texture.
  • Leftover sloppy joe mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, though cooking times may vary slightly.
