Slow Cooked Sloppy Joe Philly Cheese Steaks. Can I get a Y-U-M?
2 lbs extra lean ground beef 90/10
1 C. frozen chopped onion
1 C. frozen chopped bell pepper
3 T steak sauce
1 C. all natural beef broth
To assemble:
Place all ingredients in a large zipper bag. Zip and squish around to mix. You want to break up that meat some.
To Cook:
Pour beef mixture into slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Once cooked. Take your potato masher and break up the meat. It will crumble apart. Don’t be scared. It really will.
Then pile the meat on buns. I used hot dog because I wanted to freak the family out it is what I had. Not all sloppy Joe’s have to be round.
Add your provolone slices and microwave to melt unless you want to heat up the oven. Then you can melt them there. It is way too hot here to heat up the oven AND the slow cooker.
Serve with chips and pickles!
I have been forced to use hot dog buns in the past for non-hot dog meals but I found out that , provided they don’t break along the seam, they are actually easier for little ones to use. Truth be told, I also make a lot less mess to when I use a hot dog bun instead of a hamburger bun!
SERIOUSLY! So far my favorite meal I’ve made…SO GOOD and SOOO EASY! Just downloaded October…looks like another yummy month!
Yummo is right! I am literally going to the store now to get ingredients! Thanks!!
Just made these–I would make again, but I would not add the broth–they were too watery & made the buns soggy (I even toasted the bottom bun with some cheese on it before adding the meat & it still made the bread soggy)…I did not use bell pepper (personal preference) & I added some steak & burger seasoning to give a bit more flavor.
The broth keeps the meat moist. I sometimes drain mine before serving. :)
I have a silly question. Do you brown the ground beef before adding it to the crock pot?
no, it cooks in the slow cooker. no need to brown it first.
