Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Lean ground beef Use lean ground beef for a lighter dish.
  • 1 medium Sweet onion Adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • 1 medium Green bell pepper Provides a fresh, crisp texture.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Contributes earthy flavors and moisture.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Used to enhance the aromatic profile.
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup Adds sweetness and tanginess.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Brings a savory depth.
  • 1 tbsp Taco seasoning Infuses the dish with a blend of spices.
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch Used to thicken the mixture.
  • 1/2 cup Low sodium beef broth Provides moisture and flavor.
  • 4 large Hamburger buns To hold all the deliciousness together.
  • 1 cup Shredded sharp white cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese Melts beautifully over the beef mixture.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances all flavors.
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Adds a hint of heat.
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil Essential for sautéing vegetables.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat broiler. Set your oven to broil to prepare for melting the cheese.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and beef broth. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; sauté for 3 minutes until tender.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up and browning until no pink remains, about 3 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
  3. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Give the broth and cornstarch a quick stir and add it to the skillet; simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly.
Assembly
  1. Scoop the mixture onto the buns, top with cheese, and place under the broiler until melted. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  2. Alternatively, mix cheese with the meat mixture and stir until combined and melted.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with chips and enjoy.

Notes

Customize the recipe with your favorite toppings and serve with various sides. Consider adding jalapeños for a spicy version or substituting ground beef with lentils for a vegetarian option.
