Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

Healthy and Delicious Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

For these Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes, we kept the taste of the original cheesesteak but make it a little healthier by adding chopped mushrooms and lentils.

By using mushrooms and lentils you can reduce the amount of beef needed for the sloppy joes. Instead of using 1 lb. of lean ground beef, we now typically use about 3/4 lb.

This is a great way to start to reduce your family’s beef intake and at the same time providing extra nutrients by using nutrient-dense, fiber-filling ingredients. And did we mention they are DELICIOUS! SUPER-DELICIOUS IN FACT!

sliced mushrooms for the philly cheesesteak

Coarsely chop the baby bella mushrooms before cooking with the onions.

ground beef cooked with mushrooms

Once the mushrooms are cooked and reduced by about half, add the ground beef and continue cooking until the ground beef is cooked through. Sprinkle beef with Worcestershire sauce while its cooking. When sauteing ground beef in a skillet, chop the beef constantly with your spatula as it browns or you will end up with big clumps of beef.

ground beef and lentils

When you add the cooked lentils to the ground beef and mushrooms, everything looks very similar. There is a good chance you can fool even the pickiest eater.

adding cheese to the beef in a skillet

Mix some of the cheese in with the beef after the beef has been browned. We buy slices of provolone cheese for our sloppy joes instead of shredded cheese. Dice a couple slices of cheese to add to the beef.
