Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even cooking. Drain excess grease if necessary to keep the mixture from being too oily.
Season the Mixture: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper to add depth and balance to the flavors.
Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the meat mixture and stir thoroughly to coat. Pour in the beef broth and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and lay the provolone cheese slices over the beef mixture. Let the cheese melt completely, then gently stir to combine it into the mixture for a creamy texture.
Toast the Buns and Serve: Optionally, toast the hamburger buns until golden. Spoon the cheesy sloppy joe mixture onto each bun and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For extra cheesiness, add additional provolone slices or mix in shredded mozzarella cheese.
Serve with pickles or chips on the side for a classic sloppy joe experience.
