Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb ground beef
Main Ingredients:
- 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green pepper, diced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, diced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 to 4 tablespoons A1 sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
Bread:
- 6 hamburger buns (sesame seed)
Instructions
- Sear ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and crumbly, ensuring no pink remains. Carefully drain accumulated fat.
- Introduce diced onions, green peppers, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 6-7 minutes, allowing vegetables to soften and release their aromatic flavors.
- Whisk beef broth and cornstarch in a separate bowl until smooth and lump-free. Pour the mixture over the meat and vegetable combination, stirring consistently to integrate.
- Enhance the mixture with ketchup, A1 sauce, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, allowing liquid to reduce and flavors to intensify.
- Remove skillet from heat and strategically layer provolone cheese slices across the hot meat mixture. Let cheese melt completely, creating a luxurious, creamy coating.
- Split sesame seed buns and generously heap the cheesy beef mixture onto each half. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef with 80/20 fat content for optimal flavor and juiciness without excessive grease.
- Dice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the Sloppy Joe mixture.
- Remove skillet from heat when adding cheese to prevent overcooking and maintain a creamy, smooth cheese layer.
- Adjust A1 sauce and ketchup proportions to control tanginess and create a personalized flavor profile that suits your taste preferences.
