Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water optional, for thickening
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls toasted

Instructions

Cook the Beef:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Add Vegetables:

  • To the skillet with the beef, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine with Sauce:

  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and ketchup. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.

Melt Cheese:

  • Reduce the heat to low. Lay the slices of provolone cheese over the top of the meat mixture in the skillet. Cover and let sit for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted. Alternatively, you can stir the cheese into the meat mixture until it's evenly incorporated and melted.

Assemble Sloppy Joes:

  • Spoon the beef and cheese mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls. Serve immediately.
