Sandwiches like the Philly cheesesteak are great. A great sandwich is the sloppy Joee. The two make an excellent sandwich when combined. It’s a delicious combination of a sloppy Joee and the Philly cheesesteak’s delicious cheesiness. This sandwich is perfect for quick dinners or when you have a craving for comfort food. It does both.

There is a lot of debate about what should be in a Philly cheesesteak. But our sloppy Joee version uses green peppers and onions, which are then sauteed in butter until softened and fragrant.
