Instructions
Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe Filling
- Get a medium campfire going, or get your charcoal on the go. (If you’re making this on a stove, use medium high heat and a nonstick pan.)
- Add the green peppers, onion, and olive oil to a large cast iron skillet - or a dutch oven, and set over the fire or hot coals.
- Cook until the veggies are tender and JUST starting to caramelize a little.
- Note: You can thaw them first, or just add them in frozen. They’ll take a bit longer to cook if frozen, but it works just fine!)
- Add the ground beef to the pan, using a spatula to break it up a bit. Cook - breaking up the meat as it cooks - just until it’s cooked though.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pan, stir well to combine. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until thickened to the texture you like.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Assembly:
- Toast the buns, then divide Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes meat mixture between the 4 bottom buns.
- Top each with a slice of cheese, before finishing off with the top bun.
- Serve immediately, with plenty of napkins!
Notes
Leftovers:
Leftover Sloppy Joe mix can be cooled to room temperature, then stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
Make Ahead:
See the post for details on how to do most of the food prep in advance, creating a freezer pack of ingredients. It makes the cooking SO much quicker and easier when we get to our campsite!
