Philly Cheesesteak Sensation Burger Recipe
The Philly Cheesesteak Sensation Burger is a fusion of two iconic American dishes: the Philly cheesesteak and the classic hamburger.
Here’s a recipe for a burger that brings together the flavors of a Philly cheesesteak in a delicious and satisfying sandwich:
Ingredients:
For the Burger Patties:
- 5 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 slices of provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembling:
- 4 hamburger buns
- Mayonnaise or mayonnaise-based dressing (optional)

Instructions:
Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped green bell pepper, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Cook the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
Cook the Burger Patties:
- In the same skillet, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of provolone cheese on each patty to melt.
Assemble the Philly Cheesesteak Sensation Burgers:
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Optionally, spread a layer of mayonnaise or your favorite mayonnaise-based dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a cooked burger patty with melted provolone cheese on the bottom bun.
- Top the patty with a generous portion of the cooked onion and green bell pepper mixture.
