Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 1 pound (1 lb / 454 grams) ground beef

Vegetables:

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced

Seasonings and Sauces:

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Cheese and Bread:

  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and brown the ground beef, thoroughly breaking it down into crumbly texture.
  2. Eliminate excess grease by carefully draining fat from the cooked meat.
  3. Incorporate diced bell peppers and onions into the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and slightly tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  4. Season the meat mixture with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring consistently to distribute flavors evenly.
  5. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, enabling ingredients to meld and develop a rich, robust taste profile.
  6. Reduce skillet temperature to low and gently fold shredded cheese into the beef mixture, stirring until cheese melts completely and creates a creamy consistency.
  7. Toast hamburger buns lightly to enhance their texture and prevent sogginess.
  8. Generously spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto prepared buns, ensuring even distribution.
  9. Serve immediately while the filling remains warm and cheese is smoothly integrated, providing a delectable Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joe experience.

Notes

  • Optimize meat texture by using lean ground beef to prevent excessive grease and ensure a cleaner, more flavorful sloppy joe base.
  • Customize cheese options by experimenting with provolone, white cheddar, or a blend of cheeses for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak experience.
  • Enhance vegetable flavor by slightly caramelizing bell peppers and onions before adding to the meat mixture, which deepens the overall taste profile.
  • Consider low-carb alternatives by serving the mixture over lettuce wraps or using cauliflower rolls for gluten-sensitive or keto-friendly dietary needs.
