Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

This recipe came from...where else...Pinterest and I fixed it for our Super Bowl Party. Well, it wasn't really a Super Bowl party, but the Glavinics and the Watkins came over that Sunday for dinner and we had the Super Bowl turned on - some watched the very lop-sided game, some watched the commercials, and some slept through most of it! Anyway, everyone seemed to enjoy the sandwiches so I thought I'd post the recipe here.

Ingredients:
1 lb of ground beef, 1 small yellow onion chopt, 1 green bell pepper chopt, 2 Tbs A1 Steak sauce,
1 c. beef stock, salt & pepper to taste,
4 Hoagie rolls (I used the small potato rolls)
1 Tb butter, 1 Tb flour, 1 c. milk, 1 c. Provolone cheese shredded (I could only find sliced which I cut into strips)

Preheat oven to 400.
In a large skillet brown the ground beef and drain any excess grease. Add bell peppers and onions and cook until tender.  Add steak sauce, broth, salt & pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until part of the liquid has been reduced.
Cut the rolls in half (I sliced a V to help hold the meat), brush with some melted butter and put in the oven to toast a little.
In a sauce pan, melt the butter and stir in the flour.  Cook for about a minute stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken, 2-3 minutes.  Stir in cheese until sauce is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
To serve: pile some meat on the roll, ladle on cheese sauce, put top on, and serve!
It was even not half bad the next day warmed up in the microwave!!
