Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 6 lices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese chopped
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.
- Stir the ground beef and brown until a deep crust appears on about 50 or so percent of the beef.
- Remove the beef, drain the fat and add the bacon to the pan.
- Add the butter, onions and bell pepper to the pan.
- Let brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes before stirring again.
- Add the beef back into the pan.
- In a small cup mix the salt, black pepper, marinara sauce, beef broth and cornstarch together and add it to the pan.
- Cook until the mixture is only slightly liquidy (about 75% of the mixture is above liquid), 3-5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, add in the mozzarella cheese and fold into the meat with a spatula until just melted.
- Served on toasted brioche buns.
