Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 soft sandwich buns
Instructions
- Sear ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and crumbly, ensuring no pink remains.
- Drain excess grease from the meat, leaving minimal residual fat for flavor enhancement.
- Incorporate diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic into the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until vegetables become translucent and fragrant.
- Pour ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth into the meat mixture, stirring to combine and create a rich, savory base.
- Reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, letting the liquid condense and develop a thicker, more robust consistency.
- Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
- Remove skillet from heat and immediately fold in provolone cheese, stirring until the cheese melts completely and integrates with the beef.
- Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto soft sandwich rolls, ensuring an even distribution of meat and melted cheese.
- Serve immediately while the mixture is hot and the cheese remains gooey and inviting.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with lean ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a healthier, lower-fat alternative.
- Enhance flavor by using a mix of provolone and sharp cheddar cheese for extra depth and creaminess.
- Toast the sandwich buns lightly to prevent sogginess and add a delightful crunch to the sloppy joe texture.
- For a gluten-free option, serve the mixture over cauliflower rice or use gluten-free burger buns.
