An Ode to Philly...

...well to the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich that is.  Honestly I have never been to the city of brotherly love, and until a few years ago had never eaten the sandwich.  Well I missing out.  Cheese, meat, and carbs all together? Get me a bib, fork and knife cause those are some of my faves to eat.

Since I am getting serious about exercise and mindful eating, I figured its probably a good idea to reflect that in meal planning.  So when I recently stumbled across a Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joe recipe from Pinterest, I knew it was a preview of coming dinner attraction. 
If you like the cheesy, messy, sloppiness; no worries!  You don't have to sacrifice the taste of yummy comfort food to enjoy it.

Ingredients

1 lb. ground turkey

1 large white onion, chopped

2 green peppers, chopped

1/4 cup of steak sauce

1 Tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce

1 cup of reduced-sodium beef broth

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

8 grain slim buns

8 slices of reduced-ft provolone cheese

 

1//  Brown the turkey meat in large skillet and drain the grease.  Add the onion and green pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender

 

2//  Stir in the steak sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire.  Add salt and pepper.

{I added extra steak sauce (1 cup) because why wouldn't you want too!?}

3//  Cook on high until most of the liquid evaporates

4//  The original recipe called broiling the sandwiches once you assemble them, but I didn't have the self control to endure more waiting for dinner...sometimes patience is not a virtue.

I have already made this a few more times for dinner, and it was quickly added to my list of must-have comfort foods.  Be sure to add a little steak sauce to your sandwich after melting the cheese; you'll thank me later:)

Sloppy Joes meets Philly Cheese Steak=yum overload

Happy eating!
