Print Recipe

A fun and flavorful twist on two classic sandwiches—Philly Cheesesteak meets Sloppy Joe! This easy recipe combines tender ground beef, sautéed onions and peppers, and a rich, savory sauce, all topped with melty provolone cheese. Serve it on buttery brioche buns for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 blend)
  • ½ cup beef stock
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 slices provolone cheese, divided
  • 6 brioche buns (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened (6–7 minutes), stirring frequently. Avoid browning—just soften.
  2. Cook the Beef:
    • Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned (5–6 minutes).
  3. Make it Saucy:
    • Stir in the beef stock, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Melt the Cheese:
    • Stack 6 slices of provolone cheese on a cutting board and cut them into thin strips. Stir the strips into the beef mixture until melted.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Place the remaining 6 cheese slices on the bottom halves of the toasted brioche buns. Spoon the beef mixture over the cheese, then top with the other bun halves.
  6. Serve & Enjoy!
    • Serve warm with pickles, chips, or a simple side salad.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef (90/10) to avoid excess grease.
  • Toast the buns lightly for extra texture.
  • Customize the veggies—add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Low-sodium beef stock works well if you’re watching salt intake.
