A quick and easy recipe combining the savory flavors of Philly cheesesteak with the saucy charm of sloppy joes, topped with melty provolone cheese for a comforting and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • ½ cup (120ml) ketchup
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup (60ml) beef broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 6 soft hamburger buns, toasted

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion and green bell pepper, mince the garlic cloves, and slice the provolone cheese if not pre-sliced. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add the chopped onions and green peppers to the browned beef. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Mix well and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly but remains moist.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper, starting with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, then adjust to taste.
  6. Lay the provolone cheese slices evenly over the beef mixture. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. While the cheese melts, toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.
  8. Spoon generous portions of the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted buns and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not rush browning the beef to develop crispy bits for added texture and flavor. Cover the pan when melting provolone to keep cheese gooey. Toast buns to prevent sogginess and improve sandwich structure. Adjust sauce thickness by adding beef broth if too thick or simmering longer if too runny. Portion control is key to avoid overloading buns.
