Step 4: Thicken the Mixture

Sprinkle cornstarch over the beef and stir well.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while mixing.
Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes until it thickens into a glossy, saucy filling.

Step 5: Melt in the Cheese

Lower the heat.
Add provolone slices directly on top of the beef.
Cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Stir to create a creamy, cheesy mixture.

(If using Cheez Whiz, spoon in 2–3 tablespoons now.)

Step 6: Toast Your Buns

Butter each hamburger bun lightly.
Toast on a skillet or griddle until golden brown.
This prevents sogginess and adds extra flavor.

Step 7: Assemble the Sandwiches

Scoop a generous amount of the hot cheesy mixture onto each toasted bun.
Add an extra slice of provolone on top if you want it extra cheesy.
Serve immediately and enjoy the oozy, savory goodness!
