Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes aka "Crumbly Cheeseburgers"

1 lb ground beef
1/2 medium sized onion, chopped
1/2 of a green pepper, chopped
1-2 Tbsp flour
2 tsp beef bouillon granules (or two cubes, crushed)
water
hamburger buns
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 1/2ish cups milk
1/2 cup colby/jack shredded cheese
4-5 slices of American cheese

Brown beef in skillet with vegetables.  Drain fat.  Sprinkle flour and bouillon over beef and stir to coat.  When bubbly again, pour a little water into beef to get beef to stick together and make a thick sauce/gravy.

In separate saucepan, while meat is cooking, melt butter.  When bubbly, whisk in flour.  When bubbly, slowly whisk in milk.  Heat on med-high heat, stirring frequently, until milk mixture starts to bubble and thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in cheeses until completely melted through.

Spoon meat onto toasted hamburger buns.  Top with a generous spoonful of cheesesauce.  Enjoy!

*my kids also liked having a squirt of ketchup on the bun, making it more like a "crumbly cheeseburger."
