I’m going to the doctor early tomorrow so I’m just gonna post this now so I don’t forget. Hopefully, I’ll have some good news from the doctor for once. We’ll see.
Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes
active: 20 mins
total: 20 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons organic canola oil or avocado oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 cup Sautéed Peppers & Onions (see associated recipe)
4 (6 inch) whole-wheat sub rolls, split
4 slices reduced-sodium provolone cheese
Directions:
Step 1
Arrange the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, oregano, and salt; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomato sauce and cook until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, warm peppers and onions in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often. (Alternatively, microwave for 1 minute to reheat.)
Step 4
Lay rolls, split-side open, on the prepared baking sheet. Broil, rotating the pan as necessary until just starting to brown and toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Step 5
Top toasted buns with the beef mixture, dividing evenly. Top with the peppers and onions and then cheese. Broil just until the cheese is melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Wrap each sub in foil until ready to eat. Serve hot.
