Ingredients

1½ pounds ground beef
1 small yellow onion diced into ¼-inch pieces, about 1 cup
1 green bell pepper diced into ½-inch pieces, about 1 cup
1 red bell pepper diced into ½-inch pieces, about 1 cup
8 ounces crimini, baby bella, or white button mushrooms thinly sliced OPTIONAL
3 tablespoons ketchup
1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup beef stock
½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
8 ounces sliced or shredded provolone cheese
12 slider buns or 6 hamburger buns

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef. As the beef begins to brown, add the onion and continue cooking, about 2-3 minutes more. When the meat has browned, drain any excess grease, as needed.
Add the bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes; if desired, add mushrooms. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes. Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and stock. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 2 minutes.
Top with cheese slices and cover the skillet with a lid until the cheese melts.
Taste the mixture and adjust salt and pepper, as desired. Scoop the hot meat mixture into rolls and top with more cheese, if desired. Cover with the top half of the rolls. Serve immediately.

Notes

For this recipe, you’ll want to crumble the meat as finely as possible as it cooks.

The filling for these sliders freezes nicely. I often double or triple this recipe for future meals and freeze individual portions for reheating as needed.
