- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded provolone cheese, whisking until melted and smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Sloppy Joes
- Butter the hamburger buns and toast them in a skillet until golden brown.

- Drizzle with the cheese sauce and top with extra provolone slices, if desired.
