Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hoagie rolls
8 slices provolone cheese or American cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.
-
Sauté the veggies: While the beef cooks, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are softened (about 5-7 minutes). Season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add Worcestershire sauce if using.
-
Combine beef and veggies: Stir the cooked veggies into the beef. Let the mixture cook together for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
-
Assemble the sandwiches: Split hoagie rolls lengthwise (leaving them hinged), and evenly spoon the beef mixture into each roll.
-
Melt the cheese: Top each sandwich with 2 slices of cheese. Melt by placing the sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes or covering the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove sandwiches from the skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
-
Variations: Add sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor, or use different cheeses like cheddar or Swiss.
-
Spicy Version: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
-
Bread Options: Swap hoagie rolls for soft sandwich buns, or use tortillas for a Philly cheesesteak wrap.
-
Low-Carb: Skip the rolls and serve over a bed of lettuce for a keto-friendly version.
