Ingredients
To make about 4 servings, you will need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella if preferred)
- 4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
Optional toppings:
- Extra sautéed onions
- Jalapeños for heat
- A little mayonnaise or garlic aioli
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Start by finely chopping the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Keeping the vegetables small helps them blend smoothly into the beef mixture, creating a texture that resembles the filling of a classic sloppy joe while still maintaining the flavors of a cheesesteak.
Mince the garlic and set all the ingredients aside so they are ready to cook.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it while breaking it apart with a spatula. Continue cooking for about 5–7 minutes, or until the meat is fully browned.
If the beef releases excess grease, carefully drain most of it from the pan. Leave a small amount to help cook the vegetables and add flavor.
Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set it aside temporarily.
