Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Bread:
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, melting butter and sautéing diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until they become translucent and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into crumbly pieces and cooking until completely browned and no pink remains, about 6-7 minutes.
- Pour Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and beef broth into the meat mixture, stirring thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly, around 5-6 minutes.
- Carefully layer provolone cheese slices across the top of the meat mixture, covering the skillet with a lid to help cheese melt evenly and become slightly bubbly.
- While cheese melts, lightly toast hoagie rolls or hamburger buns to provide a crisp base for the sloppy joe mixture.
- Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the toasted rolls, ensuring an even distribution of meat and melted cheese.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing the rich, savory flavors to be enjoyed at their peak.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a cleaner, more appetizing dish.
- Toast buns until golden brown for added crunch and to prevent sogginess from the saucy meat mixture.
- Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter, healthier alternative that maintains the classic flavor profile.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for those who enjoy a spicy kick to the traditional Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes recipe.
