Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 small green bell pepper - diced
- 8 oz brown mushrooms - diced
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 4 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 8 slices provolone cheese - or 150g – I used 7 slices and it worked great!
- 6 brioche or hamburger buns
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Drain any excess grease if needed, then push the beef to one side of the skillet or transfer it to a plate.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Melt 2 Tbsp unsalted butter in the same skillet. Add 1 cup diced yellow onion, 1 small diced green bell pepper, and 8 oz diced mushrooms. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are softened and the mushrooms have shrunk in size.
- Add Seasoning & Sauce: Stir in ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Add the beef back to the skillet, then mix in 4 Tbsp ketchup and 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Deglaze with Broth: Pour in 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it come to a gentle simmer.
- Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle in 1 Tbsp cornstarch and stir until dissolved. Let simmer for 1–2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Add a splash of water or broth if it gets too thick.
- Top with Provolone and Cover: Remove the skillet from heat. Lay 8 slices (or about 150g) of provolone cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover with a lid and let sit for 1–2 minutes, until melted and gooey.
- Assemble & Serve: Toast 6 brioche or hamburger buns. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, spread with mayo or mustard if you like, then top with the other half. Serve warm.

Notes
- Chop veggies small so they cook quickly and blend smoothly into the filling.
- Toast the buns before serving for a sturdier, more flavorful sandwich.
- Add mayo or mustard to the buns for extra moisture and flavor if desired.
- Make-ahead tip: You can prep the filling 1–2 days in advance and reheat it when ready to serve.
- Storing leftovers: Store the meat mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
- Freezing instructions: The beef mixture freezes well! Let it cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
