Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 4-6 hamburger buns

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:

3. Make the Sauce:
   • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard.
   • Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
   • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the skillet.
   • Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble the Sloppy Joes:
   • Preheat the broiler on your oven.
   • Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
   • Top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
   • Place the buns on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
   • Place the top halves of the buns on the sandwiches.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot with your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a simple salad.
