Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef & Veggies:
   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
   Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

2. Flavor It:
   Stir in Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and ketchup (if using). Simmer for 5–7 minutes to combine flavors.

3. Thicken (Optional):
   If you’d like a thicker consistency, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the meat mixture. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until it thickens.

4. Add the Cheese:
   Reduce heat to low. Lay cheese slices over the meat, cover the skillet, and let it melt (or stir in shredded cheese until melted and gooey).

5. Assemble Sloppy Joes:
   Toast buns or rolls if desired. Spoon the cheesy meat mixture onto each bottom half and top with the bun lid.

🔄 Variations:

• Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner option.

• Add mushrooms for an authentic Philly feel.

• Swap bell pepper for red or poblano if you like a kick.
