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
- Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using) to ensure they cook evenly and quickly when sautéed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
