Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, making a slight indentation in the center to ensure even cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, adjusting the time to your desired level of doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the patties are almost cooked, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, cooking for an additional minute.
- Toast the burger buns until golden brown. On each bottom bun, place a cooked cheeseburger patty, then generously top with the sautéed onion, bell pepper, and mushroom mixture. Finally, add the top bun to complete your masterpiece.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Burger with your favorite sides!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños to the sautéed vegetables.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey or plant-based ground meat for a lighter option.
- Pair with sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
