Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices provolone or American cheese

Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: Add chopped onions and bell pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Step 3: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Step 4: Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 4–5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 5: Place slices of cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted, then stir to combine.
Step 6: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto toasted buns. Top with extra cheese or sautéed mushrooms if desired.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce grease.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables—they should stay slightly crisp.
- Provolone gives a more authentic Philly taste, but American melts smoother
