Instructions

Cook the Beef Mixture

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Add the Sauces

Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

Assemble the Sloppy Joes

Toast the hamburger buns lightly. Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun and top with shredded provolone cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Serve

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately!

Serving Suggestions

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are delicious on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving them with crispy potato wedges or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. You can also opt for classic sides like coleslaw or baked beans to complement the flavors of the Sloppy Joes.

For a fun twist, try serving the Sloppy Joes inside a hollowed-out bell pepper or atop a bed of rice for a hearty and unique presentation. This not only adds color to your plate but also boosts the nutritional value of your meal.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store the beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To keep the buns from getting soggy, it's best to store them separately. When you're ready to enjoy your leftovers, simply reheat the beef mixture on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, for quick reheating.

To revive the toasted buns, pop them in the toaster or under the broiler for a minute or two. This will help restore their crispy texture, making your leftovers taste just as good as when they were freshly made.
