Get out the napkins and let’s get a little sloppy. These fully loaded sliders pack everything you love about both Sloppy Joe’s and Philly cheesesteaks into the perfect messy bite.
Comfort Classics
Why pick between two comfort and childhood favorites when you can have fun giving them a little twist? Gluten and Dairy Free Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe Sliders are a treat for any night of the week, or even lunch.
Ooey, gooey, sloppy, and messy, I think these words describe the perfect Philly cheesesteak and also the perfect sloppy Joe. With both being childhood favorites and popular with kids, this dish is perfect for the family, but also so much fun to entertain with.
Whether you’re having friends over for game night or cheering on your favorite team, these handheld favorites will be a total hit. Beefy, and bursting with flavor, it’s a bold punch of flavor in every bite.
Ground beef is seasoned with the classic flavors of Sloppy Joes including ketchup and browning sauce (or Worcestershire sauce). The fresh vegetables of the Philly cheesesteak add both texture and flavor, onions, green bell peppers, and if you like, mushrooms.
But what is a Philly cheesesteak without that melty cheesy sauce guaranteed to drip down your arms every single time? For this Dairy Free cheese sauce we’re using nutritional yeast. This inactive yeast delivers the nutty umami of cheese while keeping it completely Dairy Free. Dairy Free cheddar cheese and Dairy Free sour cream also keep things creamy and irresistibly savory while mustard powder gives it a little bite and backbone.
