Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb sliced ribeye steak
Green Vegetables:
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
Dairy and Seasoning:
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Bread and Base:
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Liquid and Binding:
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, diced
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, sautéing diced onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms until they become soft and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add ground beef and ribeye steak to the skillet, breaking the meat into small crumbles and cooking until browned and no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes.
- Incorporate worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the meat mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Pour beef broth and tomato paste into the skillet, stirring to create a rich, slightly thickened sauce coating the meat and vegetables.
- Reduce heat to low and layer provolone and American cheese slices over the meat mixture, allowing them to melt completely and create a creamy texture.
- While cheese is melting, lightly toast hamburger buns to provide a sturdy base for the sloppy joe filling.
- Spoon the cheesy meat mixture generously onto the toasted buns, ensuring an even distribution of meat, vegetables, and melted cheese.
- Serve immediately while hot, with napkins ready for the delightfully messy eating experience.
Notes
- Customize cheese selection by mixing provolone and American for enhanced flavor complexity or swap with lower-fat alternatives like part-skim mozzarella.
- Control moisture levels by draining excess fat after browning meat, preventing soggy bun bottoms and maintaining structural integrity.
- Elevate vegetable texture by chopping ingredients uniformly, ensuring consistent cooking and preventing uneven caramelization during sautéing.
- Accommodate dietary restrictions by substituting ground beef with plant-based crumbles or ground turkey for lighter protein options.
