Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 6–8 slices provolone cheese
  • 6–8 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions and Peppers: Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and green bell pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add lean ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes.
  3. Season and Simmer: Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and taco seasoning until well combined. In a small bowl, mix chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour mixture into the skillet and simmer for 6-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
  5. Melt Cheese: Place assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally, broil the tops of the buns until lightly toasted.
