Quick and Easy Philly Style Sloppy Joes

Have I told you guys yet that I lived a few blocks away from Geno’s and Pat’s steaks in Philly? When I first moved to Philly I wasn’t into cheese steaks as much as I am now. I realize it’s because the cheese steaks in NYC were not that all great. The closes I got to a good cheese steak in NYC was subways. Yep.. Subways..

Now I’m all into cheese steaks and anything that has to do with cheese steaks! Every time I go to Geno’s I peek in a little and try to see what the “secret” method is. well truth be told, there’s no secret really. Just a whole load of fresh beef, bell peppers, onions, and lots and lots of cheese.

Quick and Easy Philly Style Sloppy Joes

This Philly style sloppy Joes recipe is similar to a Philly cheese steak recipe but instead of using the thin sliced steaks it’s made with ground beef. It cooks a bit quicker too since the beef is ground.

You can make it without the bell pepper but you should definitely not skimp out on the onions because they really do give the dish a whole lot of flavor. You can melt the cheese inside the sandwich or layer the slices right on the mixture in the skillet so that it can melt and then scoop it with the beef into the sandwich.

  6. These look soooooo scrumptious!! And I’ve definitely never heard you say you live so close to those legendary cheese steak places, so jealous!!!!

    1. I’m glad I had peanut butter and bread on hand tonight, because that is what I ended up eating for supper after making and tasting this. It was not good. I really had expected to like it, but I didn’t. The recipe, along with the meal, went in the garbage. 🙁
