Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 yellow onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, roughly diced
1/2 red bell pepper, roughly diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup beef stock
5 ounces provolone cheese (7 to 8 slices)
4 to 6 potato hamburger buns, buttered and toasted
Pickled banana peppers, for serving
Sweet potato fries, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the Worcestershire, granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper over the beef. Cook, stirring and breaking the beef up frequently, until it is no longer pink and develops a deep brown crust, about 6 minutes. Add the onion and bell peppers. Add the butter and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions and peppers are softened and browning on the edges, about 5 minutes. There should also be browning forming on the bottom of the skillet. Pour the stock into the skillet, a little at a time, scraping up any browned bits. Bring everything to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and lay the cheese slices directly onto the beef mixture in a single layer. Cover and let the cheese melt completely, about 1 minute. Stir the cheese to slightly incorporate. Scoop the meat and cheese onto the buns and top with banana peppers. Serve with fries.

  • Serve the sloppy joes on toasted buns or slider rolls. Top the sloppy joes with cheese, coleslaw, or your favorite toppings.
