Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls or burger buns
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. If you prefer caramelized veggies, cook a little longer.
- Season the Filling: Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the beef mixture. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy, cheesy filling.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture into the hoagie rolls or burger buns. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option: Swap the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative like Beyond Meat or Impossible Burger, and use vegan cheese to make this a vegetarian version of the Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe.
- Cheese Variations: While provolone is traditional, you can also try Swiss, American, or sharp cheddar cheese for different flavors.
- Storage: Leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
- Bun Options: While hoagie rolls are ideal, you can also use soft burger buns or even garlic bread for an extra flavor boost.
