How To Make Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

These Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes will quickly become a family favorite! They combine the best of two worlds: the flavorings and cheesy goodness of a Philly Cheesesteak with the ease, economy and sauciness of Sloppy Joes.

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are pure comfort food, and easy to make with flavors reminiscent of a cheesesteak sandwich. Ready to serve in just 30 minutes, this Sloppy Joe Philly Cheesesteak Recipe is bound to become a weeknight favorite.

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1 yellow onion finely diced
1 green pepper chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup beef broth
¼ cup A.1. Sauce
1 teaspoon steak seasoning
sliced provolone cheese
hamburger buns, sliders, etc.

How To Make Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and salt until beef is no longer pink. Drain.
Stir the cornstarch into the ground beef and mix together until the meat is coated in the cornstarch. Add the beef broth, A-1 sauce, and steak seasoning. Stir together and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer, while stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Mixture should thicken up and will thicken up more once it’s off the heat.
While meat is simmering, set the oven to broil, and place the buns on a cookie sheet. Butter each bun. Broil for just a few minutes. Watch carefully as they can burn easily.
When the meat is done use a slotted spoon to scoop it out onto each bottom bun. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the top bun. Broil for a few more minutes until cheese is melted.
Place the top bun with the cheese on top of the bottom bun with the philly cheesesteak meat. Eat warm!

Notes

Nutrition information is for ⅙ of the meat, one slice of provolone cheese, and one hamburger bun.If you are using slider buns or feeding lots of little kids then this recipe easily serves 8 sloppy joes. I highly recommend toasting the buns! If you don’t have the time or just don’t want to, simply serve the sloppy joe meat in a hamburger bun and eat it as is. Still yummy!I know I will get comments saying that these are not real, true, or authentic Philly Cheesesteaks. Yes, I know. They are meant to be a fast, family-friendly, budget-friendly version of the original.

How To Make Stuffed Pepper Soup

A super easy, fast, budget-friendly one pot dinner! So hearty and so cozy with ground beef, rice and bell peppers.

This is one of the most cozy soup recipes with rich homestyle flavor. It totally reminds me of growing up and being home. There’s just so much goodness in one bowl of this hearty soup.

You’ll love the comforting flavors in this soup and how well all the flavors blend together. The peppers and tomatoes offer a mellow and faintly sweet flavor, while the beef kicks in that flavor that will remind you of a traditional stuffed pepper.

And the rice in this soup gives it such a great texture and adds some body to it to keep it filling.

It’s the lazy way of making stuffed peppers and one of my go-to soup recipes. Trust me you’ll love this one!

Ingredients

1/2 lb Italian sausage
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 small finely chopped onion
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 c low sodium beef broth
2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (14.5 oz) salsa tomatoes
3/4 cup raw rice (I use jasmine)
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

How To Make Stuffed Pepper Soup

In a pot or casserole over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef; separating as you go.

In the middle of browning, add onions and peppers; stirring several times. During the last minute of browning, reduce heat to medium-low and add chopped garlic, stirring constantly. Drain the excess fat.

Add the beef broth, chicken broth and tomatoes to the salsa and simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the peppers begin to soften.

Add the rice and coat well. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the rice is tender. For best results, serve quickly. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

How To Make Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

I’ve been making this recipe for so many years, I can’t remember where I got it from. It’s really quick to throw together. After fixing it several times, my husband ‘discovered’ that you were supposed to spread the garlic on the chicken. It’s one of his favorites now. This recipe is very easy to adjust up or down. Just make sure your pan is big enough if adjusting up. I usually add more potatoes, since we like them. Serve with a mixed greens salad.

Ingredients

¼ cup butter

6 chicken leg quarters, split into drumsticks and thighs

6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks

24 cloves garlic, unpeeled

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup maple syrup

How To Make Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.

Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.
