Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Meat & Dairy
- 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
- 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
Seasonings & Condiments
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls (7” each) or 1 French baguette, cut into 4 pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for toasting the sandwiches later.
- Cook the vegetables and ground beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the beef is thoroughly browned.
- Prepare the rolls: While the beef mixture is cooking, slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise (or cut the baguette into four 4-inch pieces and slice each piece in half). Place the halves cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and cheese: Once the beef mixture is fully cooked, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Lay half of the provolone slices over the beef mixture directly in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and allow the cheese to melt for several minutes. Stir gently until combined and creamy.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Using tongs, evenly distribute the cheesy beef mixture onto the prepared rolls.
- Top with remaining cheese and bake: Place the remaining provolone slices on top of each sandwich. Bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the rolls are lightly toasted.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or use a blend of provolone and mozzarella cheese.
- To make the rolls crispier, broil them for 1-2 minutes instead of baking.
- If preferred, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Worcestershire sauce adds a nice umami kick; if unavailable, soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
- Make sure to use 90% lean ground beef to reduce excess grease but maintain flavor.
