Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 450 g lean ground beef
  • 30 g butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 230 g brown mushrooms, minced
  • 30 g ketchup
  • 240 ml beef broth
  • 225 g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
  • 6 pieces brioche hamburger buns

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the lean ground beef in a hot pan. Once browned, remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and minced mushrooms until browned.
  3. Mix beef broth, cornstarch, ketchup, salt, and pepper in a bowl; pour into the sautéed veggies and simmer until thickened.
  4. Return the beef to the pan and mix well.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in provolone cheese until melted.
  6. Butter and toast brioche buns separately until golden.
  7. Fill the toasted buns with the cheesy beef mixture and serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella. Don't rush the sautéing step; make sure the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms get plenty of color for the best flavor. If you want to spice things up, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
