Crockpot Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

In a recent search for a good sloppy joes recipe I happened to find this unique version at the website Spend with Pennies.  The ingredients join together perfectly in the crockpot to boost the flavor of the hamburger meat. You could easily adapt the recipe to your own family's taste by using your favorite sliced cheese or even the Philly "traditional" Cheez Whiz. Instead of the cans of condensed onion soup, simply use 2 cans of beef broth. The green peppers, onions and mushrooms are also optional....add more or less to your liking.

Crockpot Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

3 lbs. ground beef chuck

2 teaspoons garlic powder

black pepper to taste

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 green pepper, thinly sliced

1 (8 oz.) package sliced fresh mushrooms

2 cans condensed French Onion soup

2 tablespoons flour

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 package of sliced Provolone cheese

package of hoagie rolls

Brown ground beef in a large skillet (try not to break up the beef too much); drain grease. Place cooked beef, onions, peppers and mushrooms into a Pam sprayed crockpot.  Toss with flour, garlic powder and pepper (to taste). Pour soup and Worcestershire sauce over the top of the mixture. Cook on low for 5 hours. Serve on rolls and top each sandwich with one slice of cheese. (Could also be served on cooked pasta or rice)

This crockpot recipe was a big hit in my house because all of my kids were asking for a second sandwich before I even had the chance to sit down for my first bite!! We will definitely add this recipe to our busy weeknight Crockpot rotation!!!
