PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES
PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES WILL MAKE YOU FORGET YOUR CHILDHOOD CANNED SAUCE MEMORIES AND MAKE YOU LOVE SLOPPY JOES AGAIN.
Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes came together pretty organically and randomly for us. We have had Philly Cheese Steak Grilled Cheese sandwiches in our rotation for years (because they are AMAZING) and one day we made up a skillet and…. our bread had become furry.

Gross. Right?
So we had hamburger buns on hand from a hamburger night meal a couple of nights before. The changes I made were just enough to be extra gooey and “sloppy” and only took about a minute.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK HAMBURGER HELPER SKILLET? YES.
Cook exactly as described except double the broth (leave the cornstarch the same).
Do not rinse your macaroni, the starch will keep the sauce thickened.
At the step where you’d add the cheese, instead add the macaroni.
Stir it well together and cook for 30 seconds or until thickened.
Add in the Provolone Cheese and stir for just a couple of seconds and serve immediately.

This was a second variation of this Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes recipe we ended up making a week after we made these sloppy joes for the first time. I posted a recipe for this too! Head on over after you’re done on this page, its the best pasta dish we’ve had this year!
WANT TO MAKE THESE PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SLOPPY JOES IN THE SLOW COOKER?
Add the Ingredients (minus the cheese and buns) to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours.
Use half the amount of beef broth.
If the sauce is not thick add in another 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon room temperature water. Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.
