Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Step 4: Season It Right
Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the meat. Stir everything together to combine the flavors.

Here are some handy tips to enhance your Sloppy Joe experience:
- Use Lean Meat: Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option without sacrificing flavor. You can also substitute turkey or chicken for a lighter twist.
- Experiment with Cheese: While provolone is traditional, try it with Monterey Jack or even Cheddar for a different cheese experience. Cheese choices can dramatically change the dish’s flavor profile.
- Add More Veggies: Don’t stop with bell peppers and onions; add some spinach or jalapeños if you’re looking for extra greens or a kick.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the Sloppy Joes with extra cheese on top for that over-the-top experience. Drizzle some hot sauce if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Meal Prep: This recipe is excellent for meal prep. You can make a batch ahead of time and reheat on busy nights.
