Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80% or 85% lean)
  • 1 Onion, small (½ diced, ½ minced)
  • 1 Bell Pepper, green, diced

Dairy and Fat

  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 8 oz Cheddar Cheese (or mozzarella)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1 Cup Beef Broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper, fresh ground
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch

Bread

  • 6 Brioche Hamburger Buns

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and brown it well without breaking it apart initially to develop a deep brown crust, then break apart the meat and continue cooking until fully browned.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Remove the beef from the skillet, leaving the fat if desired. Add butter, diced onions, and diced bell peppers to the pan. Let them brown for 1-2 minutes, stir, then brown for another 1-2 minutes to enhance flavors.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Remove any excess grease from the skillet. Return the browned beef to the pan with the vegetables.
  4. Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a small measuring cup, whisk together beef broth and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Add Seasonings and Sauce: Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper to the beef mixture. Whisk to combine. Pour the beef broth and cornstarch mixture into the skillet.
  6. Simmer: Cook the mixture over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add Cheese: Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and well combined for a creamy texture.
  8. Toast Buns: In a clean pan, heat a little butter over medium-high heat. Toast the brioche buns until golden brown, then remove to a plate.
  9. Serve: Spoon the cheesy sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted buns and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The Philly cheesesteak sloppy joe mixture can be frozen for up to 6 months for convenient meal prep.
  • Use cheddar for classic sharpness or mozzarella for a milder cheesy flavor.
  • To add more authentic Philly flair, consider adding thinly sliced mushrooms or provolone cheese as a variation.
  • For a leaner option, use 90% lean ground beef but expect slightly less juiciness.
