I love Philly Cheesesteaks but sometimes I don’t have the right cut of beef to slice up for cheesesteaks. We always have plenty of ground beef on hand so I found a recipe similar to this several years ago and have been making these from time to time.
The cheese sauce is delicious and creamy but a slice of provolone cheese will do the trick too!

Recipe type: Sandwiches
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons steak sauce or Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup beef stock
- Dash salt and ground black pepper
- 4 dinner rolls
- Cheese sauce (see below) or sliced provolone
- Toppings: mayo, lettuce or tomato, optional
Cheese Sauce:
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup provolone, shredded
Instructions
- In large skillet over medium-high heat brown the ground beef for about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the onion and green pepper to the ground beef and cook until soft and tender. Drain off excess fat.
- Then stir in the steak sauce and beef stock, season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil and cook about 3-4 minutes or until some of the sauce cooks down.
- Slice the rolls, toast the rolls and set aside.
- If making the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook about 1 minute. Whisk in milk, bring up to a bubble and let thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in the cheese. Stir until smooth.
- To serve, place a scoopful of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the rolls, then top with the cheese sauce and place the top of the roll. If using just a slice of provolone cheese, add cheese slice and place in warm oven to melt. Sometimes we add mayo, lettuce or tomato to the sandwich as well.
