Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon beef broth or water
- 4 slices provolone cheese or 1 cup shredded
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper and sauté for 4–5 minutes until they soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, allowing the flavors to develop.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Continue to cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the mixture from becoming greasy.
- Add Flavorings and Simmer: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, ketchup, and beef broth or water. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and absorb all the delicious flavors.
- Melt Cheese: Turn off the heat and place the provolone cheese slices over the beef mixture. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely. Once melted, stir gently to incorporate the cheese into the mixture evenly.
- Assemble Sloppy Joes: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the toasted hamburger buns. Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the melty, savory goodness.
Notes
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the onions and peppers for an extra layer of flavor.
- For an extra cheesy finish, assemble the sandwiches and broil them in the oven until the cheese on top melts and bubbles.
- Serve these sloppy joes with French fries, potato chips, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
