Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2–4 slices provolone or American cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the bell peppers and onions thinly. Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat, then sauté the onions and peppers until soft and slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. Add minced garlic near the end and cook for another minute for aromatic flavor.
  2. Cook the ground beef: In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it apart with a spatula for even cooking. Season with salt and pepper as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
  3. Combine beef and veggies: Add the sautéed peppers and onions to the browned ground beef. Stir well to meld the flavors and keep warm on low heat.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting through completely, keeping a hinge. Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture generously into each roll, then top with cheese slices. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and let the cheese melt for a few minutes.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, serve the sandwiches hot for the best melty, juicy experience.

Notes

  • Choose ground beef with some fat (80/20) for juiciness and flavor.
  • Sauté veggies slowly to enhance sweetness and avoid bitterness.
  • Season each component well to layer flavors properly.
  • Using fresh, high-quality hoagie rolls improves texture and prevents sogginess.
  • Cover sandwiches when melting cheese to get perfect gooey melt.
  • Toast rolls lightly to avoid sogginess if desired.
  • Customize with different cheeses or add veggies like mushrooms or jalapenos.
