These Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes combine the best of two iconic American favorites: the cheesy richness of a Philly cheesesteak and the savory sauciness of a sloppy joe. With ground beef simmered in a flavorful sauce and crowned with melty provolone, every bite is rich, juicy, and incredibly satisfying.
Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual weekend bites, these sandwiches come together in one skillet and under 30 minutes. Whether you’re feeding kids, hungry adults, or just yourself, you’ll love how easy and irresistible they are. Want a little twist? Add mushrooms or spicy jalapeños to amp up the flavor even more!
