Method
 

How to Make Cheesesteak Style Sloppy Joes
  1. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 diced small onion and 1 diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until they’re softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Crumble in 16 ounces of ground beef, stirring frequently. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, cooking until the meat is browned and cooked through.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 4 ounces of beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a splash of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the beef mixture, cooking for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and place a slice of cheese on each of the 4 rolls. Spoon generous amounts of the beef mixture on top.
  7. Plate your delicious Cheesesteak Style Sloppy Joes and serve immediately.
