- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp ketchup

Instructions
Ingredients
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1-2 min.
- Add the green bell pepper and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 8 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
- Return the sautéed veggies to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let everything simmer together for 3-4 minutes to combine flavors.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto toasted burger buns. Lay the slices of provolone cheese directly over the beef mixture. Pop the buns back in the oven for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Add any optional toppings, like pickled jalapeños or banana peppers, for extra zing!
