If you are in a dinner rut, this recipe is the perfect way out. Are you ready to see just how easy these Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are to make? Let’s do it! (Full ingredients and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post):
Step 1: Prep your buns. You can’t beat soft and crispy buns! Lay the buns cut side up on a large baking tray. Lightly brush the cut sides with softened butter or mayonnaise. The mayo/butter is optional but, as you can see by the pics, it is very affective at creating crispier/more flavorful buns – win-win! The buttery barrier also helps prevent the buns from becoming soggy once the filling is added. Bake the buns for 5 minutes to get nice and toasty. While the buns are toasting, you can continue with the rest of the recipe
Step 2: Brown your beef and onions. Add beef, onions and bell peppers cook until beef is browned and onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté 30 seconds.
Step 3: Add the sauce ingredients. In a (liquid) measuring cup, whisk the beef broth, cornstarch, and beef bouillon together until smooth. Add this to the beef, followed by the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon and all seasonings.
Step 4: Make them saucy. Simmer the mixture until most of the liquid has been absorbed, but the mixture is still a little saucy – about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Make them cheesy! Finish the filling off by stirring in the sharp cheddar cheese until it’s completely melted.
Step 6: Assemble. Divide the mixture between the bottom toasted buns, and add a slice of provolone cheese on top of each one.
