I do love a good sloppy Joe. My daughters have requested sloppy joes for their birthday dinner in the past! It blows my mind to think that you add the Philly steak ingredients to the sloppy joes!  You probably already have many of the ingredients in your pantry. 

TIPS

•  It is best to have your pan hot before adding the ground beef. This will help the ground beef cook evenly and thoroughly. 
• Use the thinly sliced provolone cheese for best results on melting and getting the most flavor for a philly cheese steak sloppy Joe. You can also use shredded cheese and melt it over top of the philly cheese steak mixture before adding it to the buns, or you can toast the buns in the oven and melt the cheese onto the bun.
•  If you aren’t a big pepper fan you can add in fresh mushrooms, or canned tomatoes.
• I suggest sticking with beef broth for the added flavoring but if you are a chicken or vegetable stock lover these will work great too.
• To add more flavor add in taco seasoning. It make it a totally different recipe.

ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 to 3  garlic cloves, minced

 salt and black pepper, to taste

1 yellow onion, diced

1/2 green bell pepper, roughly diced

1/2 red bell pepper, roughly diced

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup beef stock

5 ounces provolone cheese (7 to 8 slices)

4 to 6 potato hamburger buns, buttered and toasted

Pickled banana peppers, for serving

directions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the Worcestershire, granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper over the beef. Cook, stirring and breaking the beef up frequently, until it is no longer pink and develops a deep brown crust, about 6 minutes. Add the onion and bell peppers. Add the butter and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions and peppers are softened and browning on the edges, about 5 minutes. There should also be browning forming on the bottom of the skillet. Pour the stock into the skillet, a little at a time, scraping up any browned bits. Bring everything to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Turn off the heat and lay the cheese slices directly onto the beef mixture in a single layer. Cover and let the cheese melt completely, about 1 minute. Stir the cheese to slightly incorporate. Scoop the meat and cheese onto the buns and top with banana peppers.
