Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth optional, for juiciness
- ¾ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hoagie or sub rolls
- Cheese Options choose one:
- Provolone cheese slices
- American cheese slices
- Cheese sauce for extra-creamy style
Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook 5–7 minutes, until soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Season beef with salt, black pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Add beef broth if using and simmer 1–2 minutes for extra juiciness.
- Return peppers and onions to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Lay cheese slices over the beef mixture and cover the skillet briefly until melted.
- Spoon hot, cheesy filling into hoagie rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the beef—it can dry out quickly.
- Soft hoagie rolls work best for soaking up the juices.
- Add a splash of broth when reheating to keep the filling moist.
