Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef lean preferred
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls split for serving
Optional Add-ins
  • mushrooms sliced, for extra flavor
  • pepper jack cheese for mild spice

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and set aside. Split the rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking apart until browned.
  3. Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in garlic, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until saucy.
  5. Lower the heat and lay provolone slices over the beef. Cover for 1–2 minutes until cheese melts.
  6. Spoon the saucy beef onto rolls and serve warm.

Notes

Use pre-sliced onions and peppers for faster prep. Toast the rolls while the beef simmers to save time. The beef mixture can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of broth. For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper or a mayo-hot sauce aioli. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
