The Best philly cheesesteak sloppy joes recipe

The combination of seasoned ground beef, sauteed peppers and onions, and melty provolone cheese on a soft bun is just so satisfying. My kids love that it tastes like a cheesesteak but is way easier to eat without all the mess. This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner because it comes together in under 30 minutes. It is also a great option for game day or a casual get together with friends because everyone can build their own sandwich. Plus, using lean ground beef and plenty of vegetables gives you a good dose of protein and fiber.
