Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Yes, you can swap in ground turkey for a lighter version of Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes. The texture stays similar, but you may want to add a little extra Worcestershire or broth to boost the savory flavor.

What cheese melts best for this recipe?

Provolone gives the most authentic cheesesteak taste, but mozzarella or white American cheese melt smoothly too. If you prefer a richer sauce, try combining two cheeses for extra creaminess.

How do I thicken the sloppy joe mixture?

If the filling feels too loose, let it simmer for a few more minutes so the liquid reduces. You can also mix in a small amount of flour or cornstarch to help it thicken without changing the flavor.

Are Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes freezer-friendly?

Yes, the filling freezes very well. Store it in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months. Reheat on the stovetop and add a splash of broth if the mixture thickens too much.

What buns work best for this sandwich?

Brioche buns add a soft, buttery finish, while hoagie rolls hold up better if you like a sturdier sandwich. Toasting the bread helps keep it from getting soggy after adding the filling.
