PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SLOPPY JOES

Step 1: Cook the Meat and Vegetables

1. In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and salt until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Thicken the Mixture

1. Stir the cornstarch into the cooked ground beef mixture until the meat is evenly coated.
2. Add the beef broth, A.1. sauce, and steak seasoning to the skillet. Stir together and bring to a boil.

Step 3: Simmer

1. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. The mixture should thicken up and will continue to thicken slightly once off the heat.

Step 4: Prepare the Buns

1. While the meat is simmering, set your oven to broil.
2. Place the buns on a cookie sheet and butter each one.
3. Broil for just a few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Step 5: Assemble the Sloppy Joes

1. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the meat mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
2. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the top half of each bun.
3. Broil the cheese-topped buns for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Serve

1. Place the top bun with the melted cheese onto the bottom bun with the meat mixture.
2. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

• Serving Size: This recipe yields about 6 servings when using regular hamburger buns. If you use slider buns, it can easily serve 8, making it perfect for feeding a crowd or children.
• Toasting the Buns: Toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch and prevents them from becoming soggy. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but it’s highly recommended for the best texture and flavor.
• Authenticity: These Sloppy Joes are not meant to be authentic Philly Cheesesteaks. Instead, they offer a quick, family-friendly, and budget-friendly version of the original.
