🧀 Best Cheese for Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
When it comes to making a classic Philly cheesesteak recipe, it’s always up for debate what cheese you should use. In this recipe, we use classic American cheese and cook it right into the sloppy joe mix. It tastes amazing!
If you prefer, you can use a different type of cheese. You should always choose a softer cheese that melts well. Provolone, Swiss, or a shredded cheddar cheese are great options.
We love American cheese because it melts so easily, but you can be a true Philadelphian and use Cheez Wiz!
🍔 Hamburger Buns for Cheesesteak
We serve up this pressure cooker sloppy joe Philly cheesesteak recipe onbrioche rolls. Brioche uses butter, eggs, and milk, which makes it softer, moister, and richer than almost all other breads. But of course, you can use your favorite hamburger buns, too!
You could even make sliders by using Hawaiian rolls, like we do with our Philly Cheesesteak Sliders and Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders! Making sliders is perfect for tailgating or a game day party.
🧂 Seasoning
To season Philly cheesesteak with ground beef, we use a mix of salt and pepper and Italian seasoning. Italian seasoning gives the beef that perfect Philly cheesesteak flavor!
If you like, you can add a little kick by adding some chili flakes. 🔥

You don’t drain the fat from the ground beef?
