Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or ground sirloin for a leaner option
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
- 4-6 slices provolone or American cheese
- 4-6 hamburger buns toasted
- 1 tablespoon butter for toasting buns, optional
Instructions
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Sauté the veggies: Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Season and simmer: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Thicken the mixture (optional): If a thicker consistency is desired, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the beef mixture. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Melt the cheese: Reduce heat to low and place cheese slices over the beef mixture. Cover and let the cheese melt for 2 minutes.
- Assemble and serve: Toast the hamburger buns with butter in a separate pan if desired. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the buns and serve immediately.
