How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

Step 1: Cook the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Step 3: Add the Sauce

Stir in the beef broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5–7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 4: Add the Cheese

Once the mixture has thickened, lower the heat and stir in the shredded cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy.

Step 5: Assemble the Sloppy Joes

Toast the hamburger buns or sandwich rolls if you prefer a bit of crunch. Spoon the Philly cheesesteak mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, then top with the other half.

What to Serve with Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

• French Fries or Sweet Potato Fries – A classic pairing with these hearty sandwiches.
• Coleslaw – A cool and tangy contrast to the rich, cheesy filling.
• Pickles – Add a zesty crunch on the side.

Tips for Success

✔ Cheese Options – If you can’t find provolone, you can substitute it with mozzarella or even cheddar for a different flavor.
✔ Adjust the Sauce – Feel free to adjust the amount of Worcestershire sauce or mustard for more tang or flavor depth.
✔ Add Veggies – Mushrooms, roasted red peppers, or even spinach would make great additions to this recipe.

Storing & Reheating

• Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add a little more broth or milk if it has thickened too much.
