Instructions
- Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. - Sauté the Veggies
Add the chopped onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and beginning to brown. - Brown the Beef
Move the vegetables to one side and add the ground beef. Break it up and cook until no longer pink. - Mix in the Sauce
Combine the sautéed veggies with the beef. Stir in beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. - Simmer
Lower the heat and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors deepen. - Add the Cheese
Place a slice of provolone over each portion of the beef mixture. Cover and let the cheese melt fully. - Toast the Buns
Lightly toast hamburger buns in a toaster or skillet for added texture. - Assemble & Serve
Spoon a cheesy heap of the beef mixture onto each bun. Serve warm and enjoy the fusion of two beloved classics.
Pro Tips

- Cheese it your way: Swap provolone for American or cheddar if you prefer.
- Top it off: Mushrooms, pickles, or jalapeños make great additions.
- Pairing suggestion: Serve with fries, chips, or a crisp green salad.
