Ingredients

Units Scale

Ground Beef Mixture:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon or base
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1/4 cup water (slurry)
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

For Serving:

  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ground Beef Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using), and sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Season and Thicken: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, beef bouillon, salt, and pepper. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then add to the skillet. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  4. Finish with Cheese: Remove from heat and fold in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. Assemble: Spoon the beef mixture onto toasted hamburger buns and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a leaner version, use ground turkey or chicken.
  • You can also melt cheese slices directly on top of the meat mixture in the pan or on the buns.
  • Toasted buns hold up better to the saucy filling.
