Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 small green bell pepper diced
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces Provolone cheese slices chopped (use 6oz if you don’t want it very cheesy)
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, and let it brown without breaking apart to form a deep crust.
- Break Apart and Brown More: Break the beef apart and continue to brown until 50% has developed a deep crust.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Remove the beef, leaving the fat, and add butter to the skillet; sauté diced onion, bell pepper, and minced mushrooms until browned.
- Combine Ingredients: Return beef to the skillet with vegetables; stir in beef broth mixed with cornstarch, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Thicken the Mixture: Simmer until the mixture thickens, with about 75% of the beef above the liquid.
- Add the Cheese: Turn off heat and stir in chopped Provolone cheese until melted and creamy.
- Toast the Buns: Toast brioche buns under a broiler or in a skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted buns and serve hot.
Notes
- Meat Substitutes: Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter version.
- Cheese Choices: Mozzarella or cheddar can replace Provolone for a different flavor.
- Extra Veggies: Add red bell peppers, jalapeños, or spinach for more variety.
- Spicy Variation: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for extra heat.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free buns for a gluten-free meal.
- Meal Prep: The beef mixture can be made ahead and reheated for quick meals.
