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
Others
- 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 to prepare for sautéing the vegetables and browning the beef.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the hot skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they become tender. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 3 minutes to soften and caramelize.
- Brown the Beef: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the empty side and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt gently, about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese melts, slice each hoagie roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through to prepare for filling.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture into each prepared hoagie roll evenly.
- Serve Hot: Optionally, you may toast the filled sandwiches briefly for added texture and warmth before serving. Enjoy immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese based on your preference.
- Adding mushrooms is optional but adds a nice earthy flavor and texture.
- Toast the hoagie rolls before assembling if you prefer a crunchier sandwich.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste and dietary needs.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
