Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 85/15 recommended for best flavor and juiciness
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper optional, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper optional, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 6 slices provolone or American cheese or more as needed
  • 4 hoagie rolls toasted, or sub rolls

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5–6 minutes until soft and golden.
  • Add ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease, but leave a little for flavor.
  • Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 more minutes to combine flavors.
  • Lay cheese slices over the beef mixture, cover the skillet, and let cheese melt for 1–2 minutes. Stir gently to incorporate into the meat.
  • Toast hoagie rolls cut-side-down in a skillet for 1 minute or until slightly crisp.
  • Scoop cheesy beef mixture into toasted rolls. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, add a splash of beef broth after browning the meat and simmer. For extra spice, top with hot sauce or jalapeños. Filling can be used for sliders, stuffed peppers, or quesadillas.
