Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Meat and Dairy
- 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
- 8 oz provolone cheese
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls, 7 inches each (or 1 French baguette cut into 4 pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper into small uniform pieces for even cooking and set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Add Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to the beef and vegetable mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and place slices of provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Bread: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them in a separate pan or oven until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture generously into each toasted hoagie roll or baguette piece.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use 90% lean ground beef to balance flavor and reduce excess grease.
- Provolone cheese can be substituted with American or mozzarella cheese for a different melt and taste.
- To save time, you can toast the rolls while cooking the meat mixture.
- For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or a dash of hot sauce.
- The sandwich can be wrapped in foil to keep warm if serving later.
