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