- Toast your buns on a baking sheet in the top third of your oven for 3-5 minutes at 375°F for that golden brown crunch.
- Add a splash more broth if your mixture gets too thick.
- Want an extra cheesy bite? Place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Ingredients Needed
- Olive oil – A light base for sautéing, adding richness without overpowering the flavors.
- Ground beef – I prefer using lean ground beef.
- Yellow onion – Brings sweetness and depth to balance the savory ingredients.
- Green bell pepper – Adds a pop of color, crunch, and that signature Philly flavor.
- Beef broth – Helps create a rich broth mixture that coats the beef for maximum flavor.
- Worcestershire sauce – Adds tang and deepens the flavor of the beef mixture.
- Cornstarch – Thickens the sauce just enough to cling to every bite of beef.
- Garlic powder – A pantry staple that boosts the savory notes of the dish.
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully over the warm filling for that irresistible melted cheese factor.
- Toasted buns
Absolutely. Let it cool, then store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Serve with potato chips, potato salad, french fries, or even a crisp green salad.
– Ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option with the same sloppy joe flavors.
– Swap green bell pepper for red or yellow bell peppers if that’s what you have.
– Toasted brioche bun, hot dog buns, or a hoagie roll—all work great!
– Use steak sauce instead of Worcestershire for an extra punch of flavor.
