1 cup diced green bell pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
-
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
-
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
-
4 pretzel buns
Instructions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and bell peppers, breaking up the beef as it cooks.

Cook for about 10 minutes, until the beef is fully browned, onions are translucent, and peppers are soft. Drain excess grease.
-
Stir in garlic and black pepper and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Reduce heat to low, add cubed Velveeta, and stir until melted. This may take a few minutes.
-
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
-
Spoon the beef mixture onto pretzel buns and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Swap pretzel buns for brioche or hamburger buns if preferred.
-
Add a spicy kick with red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
-
Try using ground turkey as a leaner alternative.
