Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional but recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or 6–8 slices, torn into pieces)
  • Hoagie rolls or hamburger buns, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. First things first, let's get those vegetables ready. Finely dice one large yellow onion and one green bell pepper. If using mushrooms, slice about 8 ounces of them thinly.
  2. Heat a large skillet or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any significant grease if necessary.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper (and sliced mushrooms, if using) to the skillet with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, until the onions are softened and translucent, and the peppers are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, letting those spices toast slightly and become fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the mixture has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded provolone cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the beef mixture.
  7. While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns in a dry skillet or under the broiler for about 30 seconds.
  8. Spoon generous amounts of the hot, cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe mixture onto the toasted buns. Serve immediately.

Keywords: Lightly toasting your buns is crucial to prevent sogginess. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Adjust the veggie ratio to your liking.
