Description

Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes (ground beef & peppers) merge the hearty comfort of classic sloppy joes with the melty richness of a cheesesteak creating a satisfying sandwich that works great on busy weeknights or as a make ahead meal.


Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 small yellow onion peeled and diced

1 small green bell pepper seeded and diced

1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms diced

1/2 cup beef broth

1 Tablespoon Crystal Worcestershire Sauce

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

6 slices Tillamook Provolone Cheese

4 Dave’s Killer Bread Hamburger Buns or Arnold Hamburger Buns or Nature’s Own Hamburger Buns


Instructions

Gather equipment including a cast iron skillet a slow cooker stainless steel mixing bowls measuring spoons and cups and a meat chopper for even crumbling of the beef

Heat a large skillet over medium and add the ground beef the diced yellow onion the diced green bell pepper and the diced mushrooms break the beef into small pieces and sauté until the meat is fully browned and the vegetables are softened

Drain and discard excess fat then whisk together the beef broth Crystal Worcestershire Sauce cornstarch salt black pepper and garlic powder in a mixing bowl

Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer allowing the broth to thicken and the flavors to blend taste and adjust seasoning as needed

Add the Tillamook Provolone Cheese slices stirring until the cheese melts into a creamy cohesive filling

Choose Dave’s Killer Bread Arnold or Nature’s Own hamburger buns and lightly toast them to prevent sogginess then spoon the hot cheesesteak filling onto the buns and serve immediately

For slow cooker preparation brown the ground beef onions peppers and mushrooms in a skillet then transfer to the slow cooker

Whisk the beef broth Crystal Worcestershire Sauce cornstarch salt black pepper and garlic powder and add the mixture to the slow cooker stirring to combine

Cook on low allowing flavors to deepen for several hours fifteen minutes before serving place the Tillamook Provolone Cheese slices on top cover and allow them to melt then stir gently before spooning onto toasted buns

Notes

Use ground beef with moderate fat content for juicy flavor without excess grease

Frozen sliced peppers and onions work well to save prep time and maintain good texture

Store leftover filling in airtight containers refrigerate for up to three days or freeze for up to two months dividing into portions for easy reheating

Reheat gently on the stovetop adding a splash of beef broth if the mixture seems dry and stir in a bit of fresh cheese at the end to restore creaminess

Keep buns separate until serving to prevent sogginess and toast them lightly before assembly

Optional variations include swapping green bell peppers for red or mixing cheeses such as Tillamook Mozzarella or Organic Valley Baby Swiss for a different melt profile
