How to cook deliciously - Chef John's Hot Sloppy Joe Dip

1. Stage

Place ground beef, bell pepper, onion, garlic, flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a heavy pot.

2. Stage

Place pot over medium-high heat. Break up and stir mixture as it heats. Cook and stir until most of the moisture has evaporated and mixture is crumbly and begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick, about 45 minutes.

3. Stage

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

4. Stage

Transfer mixture to oven-proof sauce pan. Top with 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Poke cheese down into the dip with a fork, stirring lightly. Top with remaining cheese.

5. Stage

Place pan under broiler; broil until cheese is browned, and mixture is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Chef John
