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
- Preheat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil to prepare for sautéing.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and lightly caramelized.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
