How to make Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Olive oil, for cooking
Directions:
- Prepare the Skillet: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender. If using, add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Brown the Beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Break it apart and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

- Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese melts, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
- Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the rolls for added texture before serving.
