Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 hamburger buns
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, creating a sizzling cooking surface.
- Gently sauté sliced onions and bell peppers until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into crumbly pieces and cooking until completely browned and no pink remains.
- Carefully drain any accumulated fat from the meat to ensure a cleaner, lighter dish.
- Enhance the mixture by incorporating Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and beef broth, seasoning with salt and pepper for depth of flavor.
- Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken, reducing liquid for approximately 5-6 minutes until the sauce reaches a rich, clingy consistency.
- Lower the heat and gradually fold in shredded cheese, stirring until completely melted and creating a creamy, luxurious texture.
- Generously spoon the hot, cheesy beef mixture onto soft hamburger buns, ensuring each sandwich is abundantly filled.
- Serve immediately while the mixture remains warm and the buns are soft, offering a deliciously messy culinary experience.
Notes
- Customize the meat selection by using lean ground beef or ground turkey for a healthier version.
- Add extra texture and nutrition by incorporating finely chopped mushrooms alongside the ground beef.
- For a gluten-free option, serve the sloppy joe mixture over cauliflower rice or use gluten-free buns.
- Enhance the flavor profile by experimenting with different cheese varieties like provolone or smoked gouda for a unique twist.
