Easy Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes Recipe

This Easy Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes Recipe is delicious and VERY frugal friendly. I am giving you a double recipe to help with busy nights.

I normally make 2 pounds worth and freeze the other pound in a freezer bag. Then I have another dinner ready that only needs to be heated through! If you only want to make one dinner just cut the recipe in half.

You can serve this on any type of bun, but I usually serve them on hamburger buns but you can serve them on any buns you have on hand including hot dog buns too!

Ingredients to make Philly Cheesesteak sloppy joes

Ingredients:

  • Ground Beef – You can also use ground turkey or ground chicken.
  • Onion
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • A1 Steak Sauce – Any steak sauce would work great in this recipe!
  • Beef Broth
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Salt
  • Provolone Cheese – You can use any of your favorite type of cheese.

How to make Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes:

You won’t believe how easy this recipe is to make and it can easily be made in under 30 minutes!

1. First brown the beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. (You can also use a cast iron skillet for the beef mixture) Once the beef has been browned add in the diced onions and bell peppers.

2. Cook the meat mixture on medium high heat until the meat is cooked through and peppers are slightly soft (1-2 minutes). Next mix in the rest of the ingredients at this time.

3. Bring the mixture to a slight boil. Once the mixture starts to boil, cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for approximately 10 minutes.

4. After the cooking time, spoon the meat mixture onto the buns of your choice. Top with the cheese, melt it in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoy!

If you are watching your carb intake, just do away with the bun! The sauce is amazing, You could even use a lettuce wrap instead of a bun and it would still be delicious!

What is the traditional cheese on a Philly cheesesteak?

Generally, a traditional Philly cheesesteak is topped with either white American cheese or provolone cheese. Either will work for this recipe but I prefer the provolone cheese.

Can you make this in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can easily combine all of the ingredients in the crock pot for a party. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and then place the ground beef in a crock pot with the other ingredients (except for the cheese and buns).

Let the ingredients cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. Then all you have to do is serve the mixture on buns and enjoy!

Can you freeze it?

Remember that this is a double recipe. After the sloppy mixture has cooled at room temperature, place the half the mixture into a freezer bag. Label it correctly and place in the freezer.

Then to use, just run hot water on the bag to loosen it. Dump the frozen mixture into a pot on the stove. Cook on low/med heat until it is heated through. That is one EASY dinner!
