Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes


I really think sloppy joes might be one of Rob's favorite quick dinners. I like them too, but sometimes I just wish I could change them up a bit. Enter these Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes. I have literally had these pinned for over 2 years, and like many things I pin, I took my dear sweet time trying them. It's not like I didn't want to, and it's not like I never thought about them, but when I decided to do sloppy joes for dinner, I just stuck with my regulars.

Occasionally I join in on a Recipe Swap on a cooking board I'm on, and when I was assigned A Taste of Home Cooking, I pretty much immediately said "Yes, now I have zero excuse to ignore the Philly Sloppy Joes". I regret not making these sooner; you know, like 2 years ago when I first saw them! And remember when I said that I stick to my regular sloppy joes?  Well, these may be my new regular!  I personally liked these a lot more than "normal", and they were easier!  Almost as easy as opening a can!

Next time I make them I'd love to try them with the cheese sauce, but this time I wasn't thinking!

Cheese sauce (Below), sliced Provolone or Cheez Wiz

Directions:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil.  Add the onion and green peppers if using, and cook until soft and starting to brown.

Add the ground beef and cook about 5-6 minutes, draining off the fat when finished.

Stir in the steak sauce and beef stock.  Season with salt & pepper, bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes.

To serve -  place a scoopful of the meat onto the bottom of the rolls or buns.  Top with cheese and/or whatever condiments you prefer, and top of bun.


Cheese SauceIngredients:
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon flour
1 cup of milk
1 cup of provolone, shredded

Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and let thicken for about 2 minutes.  Turn off heat and stir in cheese.

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
