Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, chopped
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
Cheese and Bread:
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Fire up a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Crumble ground beef and cook until thoroughly browned, eliminating excess fat.
- Introduce diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften and become translucent.
- Incorporate ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Thoroughly blend seasonings with meat and vegetables.
- Whisk cornstarch and beef broth in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour into skillet, stirring to integrate completely. Simmer 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats ingredients.
- Lower heat and layer provolone cheese slices across meat mixture. Cover skillet, allowing cheese to melt completely for 1-2 minutes.
- Optional: Lightly toast hamburger buns for enhanced texture and crunch.
- Generously spoon cheesy beef mixture onto bottom bun halves, crowning with top buns.
- Serve immediately alongside complementary sides like crispy fries, fresh salad, or crunchy onion rings for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Customize meat selection by using lean ground beef, turkey, or plant-based crumbles for healthier alternatives.
- Control spice levels by adjusting garlic powder and adding optional red pepper flakes for heat enthusiasts.
- Prevent soggy buns by toasting them lightly and draining excess grease from the meat mixture thoroughly.
- Enhance flavor profile by experimenting with different cheese varieties like Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack for unique taste experiences.
