Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed red and green)
- 1 cup sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat 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 and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become softened and fragrant.
- Cook Ground Beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until fully browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Melt Cheese: Once the beef is cooked, top the mixture with slices of provolone cheese. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt evenly over the meat and veggies.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Fill each hoagie roll generously with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) for a healthier option and less grease.
- Feel free to add mushrooms or hot peppers to customize the filling.
- Toasting the hoagie rolls before assembly adds extra crunch and flavor.
- Leftovers refrigerate well and can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- For a lower-fat option, substitute beef with ground turkey or chicken.
