I don’t think I will ever go back to regular sloppy joes. These were amazing! I was not expecting these to be as good as they were. Maybe because sloppy joes are so simple and well, sloppy.

Philly Cheese Steak Ingredients:

Each ingredient is carefully picked to make the best Philly cheese steak sloppy Joe. The Philly cheese steak is a moist and tender ground beef base. Add in vegetables and extra flavoring to the beef making this taste more like a philly cheese steak.

  • Olive Oil: I used extra virgin olive oil to cook the ground beef in.
  • Beef: Ground beef is best and cooks up separately in a skillet with the olive oil.
  • Onion and Green Pepper: Chop up and add into the ground beef. 
  • Steak Sauce: Use one of your favorite steak sauces.
  • Beef Broth: This adds flavoring as well as keeps the meat moist and juicy.
  • Cornstarch: Thicken the sauce with ground beef.
  • Water: Adds in extra moisture and create a thickener with the cornstarch.
  • Hamburger Buns: I like them toasted in the oven before layering the sandwich.
  • Provolone Cheese: Thinly sliced to melt over the cheese steak mixture.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste!

Let’s Make a Sloppy Joe!

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and brown while breaking up in chunks with a spatula or spoon.
  2. Add vegetables: Add the chopped green pepper and onion cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they start to become tender. Drain all excess liquid.
  3. Bring to a boil: Add the beef broth and steak sauce and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue cooking until sauce is thick and bubbly.
  4. Toast hamburger buns: While this is cooking, Split the hamburger buns and butter each side. Place the buns side down onto a separate skillet until golden brown.
  5. Melt Cheese: Once the mixture has thickened, add the sliced cheese in an even layer on the top and let it melt.
  6. Create a sloppy Joe: To assemble, place the bun on the bottom. Spoon the meat and cheese mixture on top.

The Recipe Critic Pro Tip:

Place buns on a baking sheet and add in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes until they are slightly golden.

Tips to Make the Perfect Sloppy Joe:

I do love a good sloppy Joe and this Philly cheese steak sloppy Joe is one of my favorites! My kids love it and since it is so easy to make it is a keeper. This greek sloppy joes or Hawaiian sloppy joes are also a hit at our house. Sloppy joes just have that comforting appeal as well as a quick and easy dish that have pantry ingredients. Sloppy joes are one of our favorites and I have learned how to make the perfect sloppy Joe.

Here are some tips to help create the best sloppy Joe:

  • Cooking Ground Beef: It is best to have your pan hot before adding the ground beef. This will help the ground beef cook evenly and thoroughly. I use a Staub cast iron pan to heat it up quickly. This will also help eliminate any excess water.
  • Cheese: Use the thinly sliced provolone cheese for best results on melting and getting the most flavor for a philly cheese steak sloppy Joe. You can also use shredded cheese and melt it over top of the philly cheese steak mixture before adding it to the buns.
  • Vegetables: Add in fresh mushrooms, canned tomatoes or shredded carrots to the onion and green pepper mix.
  • Broth: I highly recommend sticking with beef broth for the added flavoring but if you are a chicken or vegetable stock lover these will work great too.
  • Taco Seasoning: To add more flavor add in taco seasoning. I love the extra flavoring and you can even have it on hand with my recipe.

Warming Up:

Once cooled, store the philly cheese steak mixture in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. Store for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator or 1 to 2 months in the freezer. This will reheat well in the microwave or in a skillet on medium heat. Add the mixture on a bun and you have another left over meal!
