Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese of your preference)
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
Seasonings and Condiments
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls
Cooking Essentials
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3-5 minutes until they become tender. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 3 minutes until softened.
- Brown the Beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until the beef is no longer pink, roughly 5-7 minutes.
- Season: Stir in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly and cook together for about 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through, readying them for assembling the sandwiches.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into each hoagie roll.
- Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the rolls briefly for extra texture before serving hot and enjoying your homemade Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks.
Notes
- For a more traditional flavor, use thinly sliced ribeye instead of ground beef, though ground beef offers a quicker alternative.
- Mushrooms are optional but add an earthy depth to the sandwich.
- To toast the rolls, place them under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes after assembling.
- Use your preferred cheese if provolone isn’t available; American or mozzarella cheese also works well.
- The dish pairs well with fries or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
