  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls (7 inches each) or 1 French baguette cut into 4 pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for the final baking of the sandwiches.
  2. Cook Vegetables and Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened and the beef is fully browned.
  3. Prepare Bread: While the beef mixture cooks, slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise or cut the French baguette into four 4-inch pieces and slice those in half to create sandwich bases. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
  4. Melt Cheese into Beef Mixture: Once the beef and vegetables are cooked through, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Lay half of the sliced provolone cheese over the beef mixture in the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes, then stir gently to combine the melted cheese with the beef and veggies.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Use tongs to evenly distribute the cheesy beef mixture onto the prepared hoagie rolls or baguette halves.
  6. Add Remaining Cheese and Bake: Place the remaining slices of provolone cheese on top of each assembled sandwich. Transfer the baking sheet with the sandwiches to the preheated oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and the rolls are lightly toasted.

Notes

  • Use 90% lean ground beef for a good balance of flavor and fat content.
  • You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or American cheese if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños.
  • Make sure the cheese is fully melted before serving for the best creamy texture.
  • Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
