Instructions
Preparation
- Thinly slice the onions and bell peppers, then mince the garlic.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the beef and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant, then add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
- Divide the beef mixture into portions in the skillet, place provolone cheese slices on top, and cover for 1-2 minutes until melted and gooey.
Assembly
- Lightly toast the hoagie rolls while the cheese melts.
- Scoop the cheesy beef mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls and serve immediately, optionally adding toppings.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. You can also experiment with different types of cheese like American or a spicy Monterey Jack. Ensure your hoagie rolls are sturdy enough to hold the generous filling without falling apart.
