This was delicious! I didn't have onion soup mix, so I threw together my own. I added mushrooms to it right before pressurizing. I could not find provolone in any form other than sandwich sliced. So instead of mixing it in, I just put it on top of my sandwich.
My husband loves adding condiments to everything, so he added mayo and said it was good.
Katie
No, the cooking time will remain the same.

If I were to double the recipe should I double the cooking time?
Katie
My sister-in-law cooked it on the stove and had no problem. I would cook the meat with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, water, and Lipton Onion Soup Mix for about 30 minutes at a medium to low heat, stirring occasionally, in place of the manual high setting. That should allow the meat to absorb the flavors.
Paige
Can this be made on stove top in a pan instead of instant pot?
Katie
Sounds like great suggestions. Thank you Rebecca.
Rebecca
I loved it!! I substituted beef broth for the water, added 1/2 a diced onion, and used 3 tablespoons of tomato paste instead of ketchup. I also used sharp provolone, and it really complimented the flavors!! I will be making this again. It was a big hit!!
Katie
Great tip Carol... I usually use really lean meat, so I didn't think about that for my readers. I am glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Carol
The only edit i would recommend is draining the fat off the beef. The recipe didn't call for this and I didn't do it. The flavor was awesome but too much grease that i ended up wicking off with paper towels. Great recipe though!
Katie
It will be fine without peppers.
Lindsay J Cox
How do you think this would taste without the peppers? I feel lkke my kids will throw them at me!
Katie
Yes. If I were cooking it for me, I would..... Some people don't like the added onions with the soup mix. I say more the merrier.
Ashley
Would adding diced onions to the mix be ok? My family really loves onions!
Katie
I am so glad you like it.
Judi Smith
So easy and so good!

My Hubby would LOVE ME so much more if I made these sloppy joes! LOL! I agree, the cheesesteak version is brilliant. You need to get your sister-in-law's recipe soon too 🙂
Katie
Yes. Try it. It will come out like promised. You would need more water if you were making a pot roast or something bigger, but I cooked the meat in the Saute setting, so this isn't the case.
Donald
I thought that the Instant Pot needs a minimum of 1 cup of water in order to come to pressure. You only used 1/4 cup of water? Thanks for the great recipes.

I do love cheesesteaks and I do love sloppy joes (though, haven't had in YEARS). This looks like a yummy marriage of the two and just what I would want to eat when the weather is cold outside. Extra cheese for me please 😉
