Oh yes 😏—Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are basically the lovechild of Philly cheesesteaks and classic sloppy joes: cheesy, beefy, and messy in the best way. Here’s a step-by-step recipe:
🥪 Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

- Meal prep: Keep mixture in fridge, reheat for quick sandwiches
If you want, I can also give a slow cooker version, sheet-pan “big batch” version, or extra cheesy version with onions caramelized to perfection.
Do you want me to do one of those?
