Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

Sloppy joes as a kid were pretty downright good. I loved the way my mom made them though…. instead of the canned “Manwich” sauce that you add to a pound of ground beef she'd make Campbell's chicken gumbo sloppy joes – they were the best sloppy joes by adding a can of Campbell's Chicken Gumbo soup to the ground beef. Try it – you might even find that you love it, too!

So you might ask “Kate, why did you come up with this cheesesteak sloppy joes recipe then?” Well, isn't everything better with a little Philly taste? It sure is!

For example, you can see my Crock Pot Philly Cheese Steak Recipe – It has been pinned a whopping 200k 221k times! Wowsers!

These Philly cheese sloppy joes are delicious and completely worth adding to your meal rotation, but I have a few more favorites up my sleeve as well. This Crockpot Cheesesteak is superb as is this Campbell's French Dip recipe.

Are these easy to make sloppy joes?

These are savory sloppy joes that are so full of flavor – you won't even realize that these perfect sloppy joes are so easy to make! In my opinion, it's the best sloppy joes recipe there is!

What are good side dishes for sloppy joes?

The best side dishes for sloppy joes is french fries, no doubt! But, in all honesty, the best sides for sloppy joes are anything that is lighter than the sandwich and can be picked up – tater tots, onion rings, etc. are all awesome sides for sloppy joes!

What all is in these Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes?

What makes these so delicious? These ground beef philly cheesesteak sloppy joes are the perfect mix of flavors and simmering. Don't question the goodness, just give in to the goodness, ok? Ha! Only kidding. You can leave ingredients out but I don't recommend it. These are absolutely fabulous the way I have them written here.

1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 T ketchup
2 T Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp taco seasoning
6-8 slices provolone cheese
6-8 hamburger buns

How to Make this Ground Beef Philly Cheese Steak Recipe:

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high.

Add the onion and peppers; sauté 3-4 minutes until tender.
Add in the beef and continue to cook, breaking it up and browning, for another 3 minutes.
** If you have picky eaters like me, cook your onions and peppers separately and add them into the ground beef mixture later. Or, you could always chop the veggies up so well that they would never even know they were in the mix.

Like this:

Stir the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and taco seasoning into the ground beef mixture.
Stir together the chicken broth and cornstarch and add it to the skillet; simmer for about 6-7 minutes, until mixture thickens to the consistency that you like.
Scoop the sloppy joe mixture mixture onto buns, top with a slice of cheese, and place untopped sandwiches on a cookie sheet under the broiler until the cheese is melted. This will take 2-4 minutes.
I like to also broil the tops of the buns a little bit, too.
Serve warm with fries and enjoy!

What to serve with Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes:

I am a huge fan of serving potatoes with philly cheesesteaks, so french fries are my go-to usually and they're always a hit. Kettle chips would also be a fantastic side dish for phillys.
