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 Others

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender. If using, add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Brown the Beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef to the pan. Break apart and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Season: Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together properly for about 2 minutes.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
  7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
  8. Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the rolls for added texture before serving.

Notes

  • For a classic Philly cheesesteak flavor, use provolone cheese, but feel free to substitute with cheese of your choice.
  • Mushrooms are optional; omit them if you prefer a more traditional sandwich or have dietary restrictions.
  • To add extra flavor, consider sautéing the vegetables in a bit of butter along with olive oil.
  • Toasting the hoagie rolls before assembling adds a nice crunch and prevents sogginess.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste, especially salt and pepper.
