- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 splash Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning beef)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for caramelizing onions and peppers)

Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Thinly slice your onions and bell peppers. Measure out your spices and liquids.
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once shimmering, add your ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Caramelize the Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium, add another tablespoon of olive oil, and add the onions and bell peppers. Cook for 10-15 minutes until soft and golden-brown.
- Build the Flavor Base: Add the cooked ground beef back into the pan with the vegetables. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Create the Sloppy Joe Sauce: Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Toast Your Buns: Lightly butter or brush your buns with oil and toast until golden brown.
- Assemble and Melt the Cheese: Spoon the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, top with provolone cheese, and broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Serve Immediately: Place the top half of the bun on the filling and serve hot.
