Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
- 8 ounces provolone cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 4 hoagie rolls (7″ each) or 1 French baguette, cut into 4 pieces
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, preparing a baking sheet for the sandwiches.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine diced onions, green bell peppers, ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring periodically until vegetables soften and beef browns completely.
- Slice hoagie rolls or baguette into sandwich-sized portions, arranging them open-faced on the prepared baking sheet.
- After beef mixture finishes cooking, incorporate Worcestershire sauce for additional depth of flavor. Layer half the provolone cheese into the mixture, reducing heat to low and allowing cheese to melt for about 2 minutes while stirring gently.
- Carefully distribute the cheesy beef mixture evenly across the prepared bread using tongs, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Top each sandwich with remaining provolone cheese slices, creating a generous cheese layer.
- Transfer baking sheet to preheated oven and bake for 3-5 minutes until cheese becomes fully melted, bubbly, and bread edges turn lightly golden and crisp.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a cleaner, tastier sandwich.
- Drain beef after cooking to remove extra fat and prevent soggy rolls.
- Customize spice levels by adjusting garlic powder and black pepper according to personal preference.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for healthier or vegetarian options.
