Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • Buns

Instructions

  • In a large skillet combine your ground beef, onions and green bell pepper.
  • Cook over medium high heat until meat is browned.
  • Drain off any grease.
  • Add the meat mixture to your slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl combine your cornstarch, beef broth, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Add the broth mixture to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Cook on low 4-6 hours.
  • 15 minutes before serving add in the cheese to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and let cook 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Place the meat on soft buns and serve!!

Notes

  • Make sure to use lean ground beef. While Will Smith liked his cheesesteaks greasy in the Fresh Prince, if you use fattier beef you won't have as much meat and it will be sort of unappealing.
  • You can brown the meat, onions and peppers beforehand and freeze for when you are ready to throw everything in the slow cooker.
  • Want to add more veggies? You can add mushrooms if you like.
  • For a faster prep you could use frozen peppers and onions or buy precut veggies from the store.
  • You can use any cheese you like, american, mozzarella or even Cheez-Whiz for a more authentic Philly experience.
  • I love using brioche buns or onion buns but this would also be great in a sub bun.
