The sloppy joe has a new twist! My Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe is filled with tender ground beef, peppers, onion, steak sauce, and seasoning. Topped with a creamy and rich cheese sauce and served on a toasted bun makes a new family favorite! This sandwich is perfect for the weeknight because many of the ingredients are likely already in your pantry!
March 18th is National Sloppy Joe Day and I am celebrating with this delicious and unique take on one of my favorite weeknight sandwiches! I love easy meals that I have most of the ingredients on hand because it makes my hectic nights a lot more manageable. Plus, anytime that I can use pantry items versus a last minute run to the store is a big win in my book.
These sandwiches are great because it is a breeze to make the meat- just add the meat, peppers, onions, and a few extras to the pan and I am done. The cheese sauce is really thick and packed with rich flavor that captures the flavors of the famous cheesesteak sandwich!
Celebrating National Sloppy Joe Day!

How do you make Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes?
- In large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and brown for about 5 minutes. Add the onion and green pepper and cook another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften. Add the steak sauce and beef broth, season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook 4 minutes.
