Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns
1 1/2 cups provolone or American cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
Optional: extra pickled jalapenos or hot sauce for added heat
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
-
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
-
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
-
While the mixture simmers, toast the hamburger buns in a separate skillet or oven until golden.
-
Once the meat mixture has thickened, divide it evenly between the toasted buns. Top with shredded cheese and let it melt, either by covering with a lid for a minute or placing under a broiler for a few seconds.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite sides or enjoy on its own.
