Cook the vegetables<\/h3>\n<p>Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers. Cook for about 5\u20137 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and slightly caramelized.<\/p>\n<p>Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).<\/p>\n<h3>2. Brown the ground beef<\/h3>\n<p>Add the ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Break it apart using a wooden spoon or spatula.<\/p>\n<p>Cook until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6\u20138 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Season with salt and black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Make the sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup (if using), mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well so the beef is fully coated.<\/p>\n<p>Pour in the beef broth and stir everything together. Let it simmer for 3\u20135 minutes so the flavors blend nicely.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Thicken the mixture<\/h3>\n<p>Add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) to the skillet. Stir continuously as the sauce thickens.<\/p>\n<p>Cook for another 2\u20133 minutes until the mixture becomes rich and slightly thick, but still saucy (not dry).<\/p>\n<h3>5. Add the cheese<\/h3>\n<p>Place slices of cheese directly over the hot meat mixture. Let them melt for about 1\u20132 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>You can either leave the cheese melted on top or stir it into the mixture for a creamier texture.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Toast and assemble<\/h3>\n<p>Lightly toast the buns in a pan or oven for better texture.<\/p>\n<p>Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy meat mixture onto each bun. Serve immediately while hot.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Tips for Best Results<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Add sliced mushrooms for extra flavor and a more authentic Philly cheesesteak taste.<\/li>\n<li>For a spicy kick, include red pepper flakes or hot sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Use provolone cheese for a more classic flavor, or mozzarella for extra meltiness.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t overcook the sauce\u2014you want it juicy, not dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>French fries<\/li>\n<li>Potato wedges<\/li>\n<li>Coleslaw<\/li>\n<li>A simple green salad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Time &amp; Servings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prep time: 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Cook time: 20 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Total time: 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Servings: 4\u20136 sandwiches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u00a0Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes &nbsp; A delicious twist on two American classics: the rich, cheesy flavors of a Philly&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3471"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3473,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3471\/revisions\/3473"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
