Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.

Stovetop Instructions

1. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add ground beef, onions, and diced green bell pepper. Break up meat and saute until all the meat is brown.
2. Drain and discard any grease.
3. In a small bowl combine cornstarch, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour the beef broth mixture into the ground beef mixture.
4. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-6 minutes. The broth will thicken slightly and flavors will blend.
5. Mix in the provolone cheese and stir to blend the cheese with the beef mixture.
6. Place the meat on soft buns and serve.

Slow Cooker Instructions

1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add ground beef, onions, and diced green bell pepper. Break up meat and saute until all the meat is brown.
2. Drain and discard any grease. Add the meat mixture to the slow cooker.
3. In a small bowl combine your cornstarch, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the broth mixture to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
4. Cook on low, 4-6 hours, or high for 3 hours, 15 minutes before serving add the cheese to the slow cooker. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Stir to combine.
5. Place the meat on soft buns and serve.

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in a covered airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I don't recommend freezing with the cheese added, as the cheese may not freeze well.

You can freeze the cooked ground beef and then add the cheese after defrosting.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also reheat these in the microwave, but I find they are better reheated on the stovetop.
