Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
- Swap provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheesy profile.
- Use whole wheat or pretzel buns as alternatives to brioche for varied texture.
Storage
Store any leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Keep buns separate and toast fresh before serving to maintain their texture.

FAQs
Can I make this recipe with ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, ground turkey is a leaner alternative that works well. Brown it carefully as it cooks faster and can dry out if overcooked.
How do I prevent the buns from getting soggy?
To keep buns from becoming soggy, toast them well and add the beef mixture just before serving. Buttering and toasting the buns also creates a protective barrier against moisture.

Ingredients
Meat and Dairy
- 450g lean ground beef
- 30g butter
- 225g provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
Vegetables
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 230g brown mushrooms, minced
Liquids and Condiments
- 30g ketchup
- 240ml beef broth
Others
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
- 1 tsp cornstarch (approximate, estimated from standard thickening ratio)
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same pan, add butter and melt it over medium heat. Add diced onions, green bell peppers, and minced brown mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare sauce and simmer: In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, ketchup, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture into the sautéed vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the browned ground beef to the pan and mix well with the thickened vegetable sauce to combine all flavors thoroughly. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes to blend.
- Add cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped provolone cheese until it melts into the mixture, creating a creamy, cheesy sloppy joe filling.
- Toast buns: Butter the brioche hamburger buns lightly on the cut sides. Toast them separately in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture into the toasted brioche buns. Serve warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess fat and makes the dish less greasy.
- Minced mushrooms add umami and moisture, enhancing the flavor profile.
- Provolone cheese melts beautifully and complements the savory beef mixture perfectly.
- Butter the buns before toasting for added richness and crunch.
- You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a slightly lighter version.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste as needed.
