Description
π₯ͺ This Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes recipe combines the rich flavors of Philly cheesesteak with the convenience of a slow cooker.
π Perfect for easy, hands-off meals that deliver cheesy, savory goodness on sandwich buns or alternative options.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Β½ teaspoon salt
Β½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Β½ cup beef broth
6 slices provolone cheese
1 Β½ cups shredded provolone cheese
Sandwich buns for serving
Instructions
1-First, heat up a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 small diced onion, and 1 small diced green bell pepper until the meat browns nicely. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, and donβt forget to drain the grease before moving on. Once done, transfer the mixture to your slow cooker for that slow-cooked magic.
2-Next, in a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch, Β½ cup beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, Β½ teaspoon salt, and Β½ teaspoon black pepper until itβs smooth and lump-free. Pour this over the beef and veggies in the slow cooker, cover it up, and let it cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. The slow cooker does most of the work here, turning tough ingredients into tender bites.
3-Finishing Touches: After the cooking time, place the 6 slices of provolone cheese or 1 Β½ cups shredded provolone on top of the mixture. Cover the slow cooker again and let the cheese melt for a couple of minutes; itβs that simple step that adds the creamy goodness. Stir everything together until itβs well combined, then spoon it onto sandwich buns for serving.
Notes
