Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (preferably 80/20)
  • 6–8 slices provolone cheese

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Bread

  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Push the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Use a spatula to break the meat apart and cook until browned and no longer pink, around 6-8 minutes. Mix the meat with the sautéed vegetables thoroughly.
  3. Add Garlic and Final Seasoning: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low and layer slices of provolone cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet briefly using a lid or aluminum foil to allow the cheese to melt smoothly.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice your hoagie rolls and toast them lightly if desired. Spoon generous amounts of the cheesy ground beef mixture into each bun, letting any extra juices soak into the bread for unbeatable flavor.

Notes

  • Choose quality ground beef (80/20) for the best balance of juiciness and fat.
  • Don’t skip the Worcestershire sauce; it adds authentic tangy depth.
  • Cook vegetables slowly to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for even cooking and easier cleanup.
  • Cover the skillet when melting the cheese to trap steam and achieve gooey melting without drying out the mixture.
