Chef John's Hot Sloppy Joe Dip

1. 1

   Add the ground beef, bell pepper, onion, garlic, flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to a heavy pot.

2. 2

   Set the pot over medium-high heat. Break up and stir the mixture as it warms. Continue cooking and stirring until most of the moisture cooks off and the mixture turns crumbly and starts to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring now and then, until the mixture thickens, about 45 minutes.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Spoon the mixture into an oven-proof saucepan. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Use a fork to push the cheese down into the dip, stirring lightly. Add the remaining cheese on top.

5. 5

   Set the pan under the broiler; broil until the cheese is browned and the mixture is hot and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
