Meat and Cheese

• 1 lb ground beef Use fresh or thawed 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) Add for extra flavor

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt, to taste

Other

• 4 pieces hoagie rolls Slice lengthwise for filling

Instructions

 

Cooking

• In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high.
• Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until tender. If using, add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Push the vegetables to the side and add the ground beef. Break apart and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together for about 2 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of cheese over the beef mixture, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
• While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
• Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
• Optionally, toast the rolls for added texture before serving.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don't overcook the beef; it should be browned but still juicy. You can try different cheeses for a unique twist. Toasting the hoagie rolls adds a nice crunch.
