Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef

Vegetables:

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Sauces:

  • 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese and Bread:

  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) butter (for toasting the buns)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large skillet to medium heat and warm olive oil, ensuring even coating.
  2. Crumble ground beef into the skillet, cooking thoroughly until rich brown color develops, approximately 6 minutes.
  3. Eliminate excess grease from the meat, maintaining a clean cooking surface.
  4. Incorporate finely chopped bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic, sautéing for 4 minutes until vegetables soften and become translucent.
  5. Introduce Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, tomato paste, and beef broth to the skillet, creating a robust flavor profile.
  6. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, allowing it to simmer and reduce for 6 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the meat.
  7. Layer provolone cheese slices across the beef mixture, covering the skillet to facilitate even melting at low heat.
  8. Simultaneously, prepare hamburger buns by lightly buttering and toasting in a separate pan until edges turn golden and crisp.
  9. Transfer the melted cheese-covered beef mixture generously onto the toasted buns, ensuring complete coverage.
  10. Serve immediately while hot, maintaining the dish’s optimal temperature and texture.

Notes

  • Customize meat choice by swapping ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier alternatives.
  • Control spiciness by adjusting Worcestershire sauce and adding red pepper flakes for extra kick.
  • Ensure optimal cheese melt by using low heat and covering skillet briefly to prevent burning.
  • Enhance texture by draining beef fat completely and using lean meat for less greasy result.
