Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
Seasonings and Condiments
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Bread and Oil
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables and cooking the beef.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 to 5 minutes until they become tender. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 3 minutes to soften them.
- Brown the Beef: Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the cleared side and break it apart with a spatula. Cook the beef until it is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring it is fully cooked and evenly browned.
- Season: Stir in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients well so the flavors are evenly distributed, cooking for another 2 minutes to blend the seasonings.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt thoroughly, which will take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through to create a hinge for easy filling.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, use a spoon to transfer the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture into each hoagie roll evenly.
- Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the filled sandwiches in the oven or on a skillet for added texture before serving. Serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and warm filling.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or American cheese based on your preference.
- To make the sandwiches lighter, opt for whole wheat hoagie rolls or lettuce wraps as alternatives.
- If you prefer a more traditional Philly cheesesteak, thinly sliced ribeye steak can be used instead of ground beef.
- Adding sautéed mushrooms is optional but recommended for additional earthiness and texture.
