Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, crumbling the meat as it cooks, then drain any excess fat.
- Introduce diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become tender and translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Infuse the meat mixture with Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Dust the mixture with flour, mixing carefully to prevent clumping, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Pour beef broth gradually into the skillet, allowing the mixture to simmer and thicken for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Layer provolone cheese over the hot beef mixture, covering the skillet to help cheese melt completely and create a creamy texture.
- Lightly butter and toast hamburger buns until golden brown for added crunch and flavor.
- Generously spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto prepared buns, ensuring an even distribution of meat and melted cheese.
- Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by optional side dishes like crispy french fries or a fresh garden salad.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a cleaner, less greasy sloppy joe mixture.
- Dice onions and bell peppers uniformly for even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels and prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
- Quickly mix flour into the beef mixture to avoid clumping and ensure a smooth, thickened sauce.
- Toast buns with a light butter spread to add extra flavor and prevent sogginess from the sloppy joe filling.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives to accommodate different dietary preferences.
- Customize cheese options by using Swiss, American, or a blend of cheeses for varied flavor profiles.
- Prep ingredients in advance to streamline cooking process and reduce overall meal preparation time.
