Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion.Add the green pepper and minced mushrooms. Cook for 1–2 minutes before stirring, allowing vegetables to soften slightly.In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and cornstarch until smooth.Add the broth mixture to the skillet along with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.Cook for 3–5 minutes, until the mixture thickens and is only slightly saucy.Turn off the heat and stir in the provolone cheese until melted.Serve warm on toasted hamburger buns.
Notes
Finely mincing the mushrooms helps them blend seamlessly into the meat mixture.Brioche buns add a slightly sweet contrast, but any sturdy hamburger bun works well.Serve immediately for best texture, as the cheese thickens as it cools.
