This easy-to-make recipe brings the best of Philly cheesesteak flavors into a simple, satisfying meal perfect for any day of the week.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)
• 4 hoagie rolls
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, green bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
3. Step 3: Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the cooked beef. Mix well and cook for another minute to combine the flavors.
4. Step 4: Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and heat through.
5. Step 5: Preheat the oven broiler. Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the hoagie rolls. Top each portion with a slice of provolone cheese.
6. Step 6: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Tips & Variations

• Try different cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, or American for a unique flavor twist.
• Add sautéed jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
• Use whole wheat or gluten-free rolls to suit dietary preferences.
• For extra flavor, mix in a splash of soy sauce or liquid smoke with the Worcestershire sauce.
• Caramelize the onions longer for a sweeter, deeper flavor in the sandwich.

Storage

Store leftover sandwich filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the filling in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Assemble sandwiches fresh to keep the rolls from becoming soggy.

Main Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)
• 4 hoagie rolls
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using) to ensure they cook evenly and quickly when sautéed.
2. Cook the vegetables: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the ground beef: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Season the beef: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper onto the beef. Add Worcestershire sauce and stir well to combine the flavors. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the beef and mix thoroughly.
5. Melt the cheese: Reduce heat to low. Arrange the provolone cheese slices evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil to allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Prepare the hoagie rolls: Lightly toast the hoagie rolls if desired, either in a toaster oven or under a broiler, to add some crispness and warmth.
7. Assemble the sandwiches: Using a spatula, scoop the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture and fill each hoagie roll generously. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

• You can customize the cheese to your liking, such as using American, mozzarella, or cheddar.
• For a milder flavor, omit the mushrooms or substitute with other vegetables like sliced jalapeños for heat.
• To reduce calories, use lean ground beef or ground turkey instead.
• Toasting the hoagie rolls enhances texture but is optional.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
