Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
4 brioche hamburger buns, toasted

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off the excess fat.
Add the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth. Pour into the skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded provolone until melted.
Serve the mixture on toasted brioche buns. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

This recipe is highly versatile and can be easily adapted to suit different dietary preferences. For a lighter option, consider using ground turkey or a plant-based meat substitute. If you’re gluten-sensitive, opt for gluten-free buns and ensure your Worcestershire sauce and other ingredients are gluten-free. For those who love a bit of spice, adding jalapeños or hot sauce can give these sloppy joes an extra kick. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months, making this dish as convenient as it is tasty.
