I love Rachael Ray. I have never tried a recipe of hers that was a disappointment. This one is no different. First of all, I love a good Philly cheesesteak. It's one of those things I don't get that often, so it tastes so good when I do. Secondly, I made homemade buns for these sloppy joes which made them even better.
This isn't a traditional cheesesteak, as you probably could have guessed from the recipe name. It's a sloppy joe, which means it calls for ground meat. The original recipe called for ground sirloin, but in the interest of my budget I used lean ground turkey instead. Even still, this really did taste like a cheesesteak. Jonathon described the sandwich as having the flavor of a cheesesteak with the texture of a sloppy joe with a roll that really brought it all together. I'm not sure what kind of roll an authentic cheesesteak uses, but these were pretty good.
