Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until warm. Add the onion and bell peppers and sauté until the veggies become soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the onions and peppers to the side of the pan. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a meat chopper or wooden spoon while blending it with the onions and peppers.
Add BBQ sauce, broth, bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, simmering for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce and meld flavors.
Just before serving, stir in the shredded cheese.
Top each bun with the beef mixture and enjoy! Optionally, toast buns with a little butter or place cut side up on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
This dish is versatile; you can substitute ground turkey or chicken if desired.
Feel free to add additional toppings like pickles or jalapeños for extra zing.
