• Olive oil – Use this to sauté the veggies before you cook the ground beef.
• Sweet onion – I love using sweet onion in this philly cheese steak sloppy joe recipe. But you can also use white onion or yellow onion.
• Green bell pepper – Orange and yellow bell pepper work in this recipe too.L
• Lean ground beef – Use lean ground beef so that the sloppy joes are not too greasy.
• Ketchup – Grab your favorite ketchup and use it to make these sloppy joes extra saucy.
• Worcestershire sauce – This is my favorite ingredient to make these philly cheesesteak sloppy joes extra flavorful.
• Beef seasoning – Use your favorite beef seasoning or seasoning salt to easily give this recipe loads of flavor.
• Provolone cheese – Mozzarella cheese and Colby Jack cheese are also tasty on this sandwich.
• Hamburger buns – Grab a pack of your favorite hamburger buns!

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

1. Preheat the broiler and while it preheats, whisk together the cornstarch and broth in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high. Add the onion and pepper, then sauté for about 3 minutes until tender. Add the beef to the skillet and continue to cook, breaking it up and browning, for another 3 minutes or until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off the excess fat.
3. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire and beef seasoning.
4. Give the broth and cornstarch a quick stir to make sure it’s combined, as it may have settled. Add the slurry to the meat mixture and then simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly.
5. Scoop some mixture onto one half of each of the buns, top with one slice of cheese and place on baking sheet.
6. Put the sheet pan under the broiler until melted and keep a close eye on it so that nothing burns. Remove from the oven and top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
