Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
Directions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir everything together.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
