About the Ingredients for Sloppy Joes

Ground beef – Lean ground beef is best but you can use medium ground beef, in which case you will need to drain the fat from the pan after browning the beef.

Onion – Adds flavour that will be missed if omitted.

Peppers & mushrooms – Yes, I do know that peppers and mushrooms are not part of an authentic Philly cheesesteak, but rather optional toppings. That said they are delicious and really make this sloppy joe mixture irresistible.

Cornstarch – Thickens the sauce.

Broth – I used regular beef broth, but you can use sodium reduced if you prefer, then season to taste.

Ketchup – Gives the sauce a bit of tang.

Worcestershire sauce – Really enhances the flavour of the sauce.

Seasoning – Just salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can adjust to taste at the end if you like.

Buns – You can use any hamburger buns you like. We love brioche buns, they are so buttery and flavourful.

Butter – If you opt to toast your buns you will want a little butter or margarine if you prefer that.

Cheese – Provolone cheese slices finish these sloppy joes off.

How to Make Philly Cheeseteak Sloppy Joes

Yields: 6 Servings | Prep time: 15 Minutes | Cook time:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 8 ounces (227 g) brown mushrooms, chopped
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 6 brioche hamburger buns
• Butter
• 6 Provolone Cheese slices

Directions:

Heat a skillet over medium high heat, then add the ground beef and cook until browned. (Image 1)

Remove the beef from the skillet to a plate, leaving any fat in the pan, then add the onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. (Image 2)

Cook until the onions soften and mushrooms brown, stirring occasionally. (Image 3)

Add the beef back into the pan, and combine. (Image 4)

Stir the beef broth and cornstarch together to make a slurry.

Add the slurry, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the skillet. (Image 5)

Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes, then turn off the heat. (Image 6)

Preheat the broiler of your oven.

Butter, then toast the brioche buns under the broiler until golden.

Top the toasted buns with the meat mixture, then top each a slice of provolone cheese. Place the sandwiches back under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese before placing on the top buns and serving.
