Ingredients
Scale
Burger Patties
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable Topping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
Assembly
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- Optional mayonnaise or cheese sauce for spreading
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined to avoid tough burgers. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, then set aside.
- Sauté Peppers and Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion, cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until they become tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Burger Patties: Using the same skillet or preheated grill, cook each burger patty for approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side until reaching your desired level of doneness. In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese thoroughly.
- Toast the Buns: While the cheese melts, toast the hamburger buns lightly until golden brown for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise or cheese sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, then layer with the sautéed peppers and onions. Complete the burger with the top bun and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a spicier variation, add sliced jalapeños to the peppers and onions or substitute provolone with pepper jack cheese.
- Grilling the bell peppers and onions instead of sautéing adds a smoky, charred flavor that complements the burger well.
- Try swapping provolone cheese for American cheese or Cheez Whiz for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak experience.
