Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp ketchup
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
4 slices provolone or American cheese
4 hamburger buns or hoagie rolls
1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Add Seasoning and Sauce: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the beef broth and mix well. If a thicker sauce is desired, dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it in. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low, place the cheese slices on top of the beef mixture, cover, and let melt for 1-2 minutes. Stir to combine.
- Toast the Buns: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Place buns cut-side down and toast until golden brown.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted buns and serve immediately. Enjoy!
