Instructions

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, cooking until it develops a deep brown crust on the bottom. Break apart and continue cooking until about half of the beef has a rich crust.
Remove the beef from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat. Add butter, onions, bell peppers, and minced mushrooms to the skillet. Allow the vegetables to brown undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, then stir and let brown for an additional 1-2 minutes to caramelize.
Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. In a small cup, whisk beef broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour into the skillet with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
Let the mixture cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened, reducing any excess liquid for a hearty texture.
Turn off the heat and fold in the chopped Provolone cheese until melted and well incorporated.
Serve on toasted brioche buns for a warm, gooey, and comforting meal.
