Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef 85/15 or 90/10 recommended
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 4 hoagie rolls split
  • 2 tbsp butter softened

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Spatula or Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Split the hoagie rolls and spread softened butter on the inside. Toast in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove veggies from the skillet.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Return the vegetables to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Lay the provolone slices over the beef mixture, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir everything together until a creamy, cheesy sauce forms. Spoon the filling into the toasted hoagie rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

Toasting Buns: Don't skip this step! It prevents the sandwich from getting soggy and adds great flavor.
Cheese Variations: White American cheese or Cheez Whiz are also fantastic options for an extra creamy or tangy cheesesteak.
Storage: Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet.
