Cajun Beef Sandwich

This is a Cajun-inspired take on the traditional Philly Cheese steak! I combined the flavors of peppers and onions with ground beef and some beautiful spices to make this quick and easy sandwich! I topped it off with some provolone cheese and mayonnaise for some added flavor! Serve this with some homemade fries and you'll have a filling and delicious meal the whole family will love!

These homemade fries are a perfect side for the sandwich! Just sprinkle them with some dried parsley, paprika, and garlic powder!

Add mushrooms and jalapenos to this sandwich for added flavors and textures!

I was roaming around my kitchen without a clue of what to cook and I didn't feel like taking a trip to the grocery store. So I decided to put some ground beef to use and create a sandwich that is a mix between a Philly Cheese steak and a sloppy Joe (but without the mess)! I pulled out some bell peppers, onions, and savory seasonings to make the Cajun filling for the sandwich!

I topped it off with a simple layer of provolone cheese and mayonnaise, but you can add any flavor cheese or condiment of your liking!
