Ingredients

450g lean ground beef
30g butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
230g brown mushrooms, minced
30g ketchup
240ml beef broth
225g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
6 brioche hamburger buns

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the lean ground beef in a hot pan until fully cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced mushrooms, sautéing until the vegetables are browned and tender.
Step 3: In a bowl, mix together beef broth, ketchup, salt, and pepper (add cornstarch if available to help thicken). Pour this mixture into the pan with the sautéed vegetables, then simmer until it thickens slightly.
Step 4: Return the cooked beef to the pan and stir well to combine with the sauce and vegetables.
Step 5: Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the provolone cheese until it melts into the beef mixture, creating a creamy texture.
Step 6: Butter the brioche buns and toast them in a separate pan until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 7: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture into the toasted buns and serve warm for a delicious, sloppy joe style sandwich.

Tips & Variations

Use a splash of Worcestershire sauce in the beef mixture for extra depth of flavor.
Substitute provolone with mozzarella or American cheese for a different melt and taste.
Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with cold water before adding to the broth and vegetables.

Storage

Store any leftover cheesy beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Toast fresh buns when serving leftovers for the best texture.
