Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced

Vegetables & Seasonings

  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed red and green)
  • 1 cup sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Oil

  • 1 tbsp olive oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil to prepare for sautéing.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and lightly caramelized.
  3. Cook the ground beef: Push the sautéed veggies aside and add the ground beef to the pan. Cook it until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the flavor.
  4. Melt the cheese: Once the beef is cooked through, layer the provolone cheese on top of the meat mixture. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
  5. Assemble and serve: Open each hoagie roll and fill it generously with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or American cheese for a different flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Using lean ground beef reduces excess grease making the sandwich less oily.
  • To add more veggies, mushrooms or sliced zucchini can be sautéed with the peppers and onions.
  • Toast the hoagie rolls lightly for extra crunch and warmth before assembling.
