- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup beef broth low sodium
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in onion, bell pepper, mushrooms (if using), and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies soften.
Stir in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk cornstarch into beef broth, then pour into skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
Lay provolone slices over the meat mixture. Cover pan and let cheese melt, about 1 minute. Stir gently to combine.
Spoon mixture onto hamburger buns and serve warm.
- Make ahead: The beef mixture can be cooked up to 4 days in advance. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth to bring it back to life.
- Freezer friendly: Cool the filling completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Cheese options: Provolone is classic, but mozzarella, Swiss, white cheddar, or American cheese all melt beautifully.
- Customize the veggies: Bell peppers and onions are traditional, but you can add mushrooms, jalapeños, or even spinach for a twist.
