Notes
Toast the buns
Toasting helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy from the saucy filling. Let the sauce thicken
Allowing the mixture to simmer for a few minutes creates the perfect sloppy joe texture. Customize the cheese
Provolone is traditional, but mozzarella, American cheese, or cheese sauce also work well. Add mushrooms for extra flavor
Sauté sliced mushrooms with the onions and peppers for a richer cheesesteak taste. Make it spicy
Add diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling. Storage tip
Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
