Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water)
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded cheese)
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Cook the Beef and Veggies: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, ketchup, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Melt the Cheese: Layer the provolone cheese slices on top of the beef mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes. Stir the melted cheese into the beef mixture.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the beef mixture onto the hamburger buns. Serve warm with your favorite side dish.
