Philly Joes

A cross between a Philly Cheesesteak and a Sloppy Joe, but still macro-friendly!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 91/9 lean ground beef (or whatever your preference of ground beef or turkey. Keep in mind the macros may change!)
  • 3 cups frozen bell peppers and onions (340 g)
  • 4 light laughing cow wedges ( or 2 ounces of 1/3 less fat cream cheese. Macros will be slightly different)
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or more, to taste (I used garlic salt)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • hamburger buns, to serve
  • thin provolone cheese slices, to serve

Instructions

  • In a large pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef and the peppers together. Crumble the beef as it cooks. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the seasonings and the laughing cow cheese wedges until the cheese has melted.
  • To serve, toast the hamburger buns under the broiler. I usually spray mine lightly with cooking spray first. Then, add a slice of provolone cheese and then the meat mixture.

Notes

Macros for 1/4 of the meat mixture are rounded to 12F/5C/27P or 232 calories. Don't forget to add your buns and cheese to your meal!
