Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
Condiments and Cheese:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, creating a sizzling surface for sautéing vegetables.
- Sauté diced onions and bell peppers until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles and cooking until thoroughly browned and no pink remains.
- Drain any accumulated fat to ensure a lighter, less greasy mixture.
- Enhance the beef with Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper, stirring to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to slightly thicken.
- Layer cheese slices directly over the hot beef mixture, letting them gradually melt and create a creamy, cohesive texture.
- Gently fold the melted cheese throughout the meat, ensuring an even distribution of rich, gooey goodness.
- Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto soft hamburger buns, creating a hearty and indulgent sandwich.
- Serve immediately while the filling remains warm and cheese is perfectly melted.
Notes
- For a lighter version, swap ground beef with lean ground turkey or chicken to reduce fat content.
- Add sliced mushrooms during the vegetable sauté for extra umami and depth of flavor.
- Toast the hamburger buns briefly before adding the meat mixture to prevent sogginess and enhance texture.
- Consider using provolone or American cheese for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak experience, replacing standard sliced cheese.
