Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 sandwich buns or hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the diced onion, green and red bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- If the mixture is too runny, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of water and stir it into the skillet. Cook for another minute until thickened.
- Reduce the heat to low and lay the provolone slices over the beef mixture. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt.
- Toast the sandwich buns or hoagie rolls, then spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half and serve immediately
Notes
Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and reheat it before serving. Add the cheese just before serving for best results.
What side dishes go well with this? Serve with fries, coleslaw, or a simple green salad to complement the richness of the sandwich.
Can I freeze the filling? Absolutely! Allow the beef mixture to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop before serving.
