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

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. 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.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. In the meantime, preheat your broiler.
  6. Place the hamburger buns open-faced on a baking sheet. Toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Lay the provolone cheese slices on top of the meat mixture in the skillet, allowing them to melt from the residual heat.
  8. To serve, scoop the cheesy meat mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns. Enjoy immediately and savor the deliciousness of Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes!
