Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook ground beef until browned, breaking into crumbled pieces.
Add onions and bell peppers; sauté 5-7 minutes until onions caramelize.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Cook 2 minutes.
Sprinkle flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in milk until thickened.
Fold in provolone cheese until melted and saucy. Season with salt and pepper.
Warm brioche buns, divide meat mixture among them, and top with cheese sauce before serving.

Notes

For a meatless option, substitute lentils or mushrooms for the beef.
Freeze leftover meat mixture for up to 3 months.
Toast buns lightly for extra crunch. Swap provolone with mozzarella for a classic sloppy joe twist.
