A delicious mashup of Philly cheesesteak and sloppy joe, this sandwich is filled with juicy ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melty provolone cheese, all tucked into a toasted bun for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch (optional)
- 6 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded)
- 6 hamburger buns or soft sandwich rolls
- 2 Tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart and allowing crispy edges to form. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Add onion, green and red bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are soft and starting to brown.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour in beef broth and simmer to combine flavors.
- If needed, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the pan to thicken the mixture.
- Place provolone slices over the beef. Cover skillet until cheese melts, then gently stir to incorporate.
- Butter the cut sides of buns and toast in another pan until golden and crisp.
- Assemble sandwiches by spooning the cheesy beef onto toasted buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles as protein alternatives.
- Swap provolone with American, mozzarella, sharp cheddar, or Swiss cheese for variation.
- Add mushrooms, jalapeños, or chili flakes for extra flavor or heat.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Use gluten-free buns to make it gluten-free.
