Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 slices Provolone cheese slices
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 4 Burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently and divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Deseed and thinly slice the green bell pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred doneness.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking the patties, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the cheese melt.

Step 6

While the patties cook, spread butter on the inside of burger buns and toast them in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.

Step 7

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun, if desired. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.

Step 8

Layer sautéed onions and bell peppers on each patty, then top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad. Enjoy your Philly Burger!
