Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Pour in the beef broth and stir, allowing the mixture to simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a separate pan and toast the sandwich rolls until golden brown.
Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted rolls, then top with slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese. Let the cheese melt slightly before serving.

Variations

Use different cheese: While provolone and mozzarella are classic options, you can try other cheeses like cheddar or American for a unique twist.
Add mushrooms: Sauté mushrooms along with the onions and bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
Make it spicy: For a spicy kick, add some diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
Swap the beef: If you prefer a lighter option, you can use ground turkey or chicken in place of the beef.
Vegetarian option: For a vegetarian version, swap the ground beef with crumbled tempeh or lentils and use a plant-based cheese.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat the sloppy joe mixture on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce. Alternatively, you can microwave it in a covered dish for about 1–2 minutes.
