This recipe takes the classic Sloppy Joe sandwich to the next level by swapping in two kinds of melty, gooey cheese with seasoned ground beef, peppers, and onions. Then, spoon the cheesy ground beef mixture into a sub roll.

The result is a savory, cheesy sandwich that everyone loves. Cheesy Sloppy Joes are great for a quick supper during the week or serving at a game day party.

• This sandwich is just plan delicious! The savory beef and vegetables pairs so nicely with the blend of cheeses
• You can have this delicious dinner on the table in just thirty minutes. It’s so quick and easy to prepare.
• It’s very easy to adapt this recipe to suit your family’s tastes. Change up the cheeses or play around with different seasonings to make this spicier if you’d like. Swap in different vegetables. You could even add some tomato flavor to the beef mixture if you’d like.

• Ground Beef – Buy a low-fat ground beef mix such as 90/10 or 93/7 beef to fat ratio. This will allow you to keep most of the beef juices in the pan since you won’t have a lot of excess rendered fat.
• Vegetables – We mixed in Green Bell Pepper and Sweet Onion. But you can swap in red or yellow peppers, or another onion variety with a bolder flavor. You could also add mushrooms if that is something your family enjoys. If you want your subs to be extra spicy, add in some chopped jalapeno peppers.
• Cheese – Our recipe includes Sharp Yellow Cheddar and White American Cheese, however the yellow cheddar could be replaced with white, and white American replaced with yellow American. You can also swap in other varieties of cheese if you’d like.
• Seasonings – Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes add a nice savory flavor and a touch of heat that helps cut the richness of the beef mixture.
• Tap Water
• Small Sub Rolls – For serving. You could serve this on burger rolls or small slider rolls as well.

1. Sauté bell peppers and onions until lightly browned.
2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned.
3. Add water, seasonings, and both cheeses.
4. Stir to melt and combine cheese into the beef mixture.
5. Simmer to thicken the mixture. Add water to thin the mixture if needed.

• Can I make Cheesy Sloppy Joes ahead of time?  Yes, just add a little water to the mixture when reheating.
• How do I store leftovers?   Keep the rolls separate and store the beef and cheese mixture covered in the refrigerator for up to two days.
• How do I reheat leftovers? Reheat in a small saucepan or the microwave – but be careful not to overheat in the microwave.
• Can I freeze?  No, we don’t recommend it. The mixture will separate once frozen and thawed.
