Description
A delicious fusion of classic Philly cheesesteak flavors and the comfort of sloppy joes, served in a toasted brioche bun.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small green bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 1 cup shredded provolone or white American cheese
- 4 brioche or hamburger buns (toasted)
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
- Extra provolone or cheddar cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Allow it to brown for about 5 minutes, then drain excess fat if necessary.
- Toss in the finely chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions soften and become translucent.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until you create a roux. Gradually pour in the warm milk, whisking until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Spread butter inside each bun, then toast them in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the toasted bun, spoon the beef mixture inside, and drizzle the cheese sauce over the top.
- Enjoy your creation while it’s hot, paired with side dishes like fries or salad.
