Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground beef
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup (150 g) mushrooms, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and thoroughly brown the ground beef, ensuring no pink remains.
- Drain accumulated fat from the meat, then return skillet to heat.
- Incorporate diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the meat and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat evenly and prevent clumping.
- Pour Worcestershire sauce and ketchup into the skillet, mixing ingredients until well combined and fragrant.
- Slowly add beef broth while continuously stirring, allowing the mixture to simmer and gradually thicken for 3-4 minutes.
- Layer provolone cheese slices across the top of the beef mixture, covering entirely and letting cheese melt completely.
- Gently fold melted cheese into the meat mixture, creating a creamy, cohesive texture.
- Lightly toast hamburger buns until edges are golden and crisp.
- Generously spoon the cheese-infused beef mixture onto prepared buns, ensuring even distribution.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese remains gooey.
Notes
- Customize meat options by swapping ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter, healthier alternative.
- Manage moisture levels by draining ground beef thoroughly and using precise liquid measurements to prevent soggy buns.
- Enhance flavor depth by caramelizing onions slowly before adding other vegetables, which develops a richer, more complex taste profile.
- Create gluten-free version by using cornstarch instead of flour and selecting gluten-free hamburger buns for individuals with dietary restrictions.
