Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by thinly slicing the onion and green bell pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Remove the cooked ground beef from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables and mix together thoroughly.
- Split the hoagie rolls and lightly toast them if desired.
- Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls.
- Top each sandwich with two slices of provolone cheese, allowing the heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ground beef with a slightly higher fat content (80/20) for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Make sure to drain excess fat after cooking the ground beef to prevent a greasy sandwich.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder to the ground beef while cooking.
- Toast the hoagie rolls for added texture and to prevent them from getting soggy.
- Use fresh provolone cheese and let it melt naturally from the heat of the meat for the best results.
- If you want to add extra heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add sliced jalapeños to the mixture.
- For a lighter version, you can use lean ground beef or even ground turkey as a substitute.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and warm, crispy texture of the sandwich.
