Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they become tender and slightly caramelized. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 3 minutes until softened.
- Brown the Beef: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet to make space. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Season: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat to low. Lay a slice of provolone cheese over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice each hoagie roll lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through to keep the rolls hinged.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into each hoagie roll.
- Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the assembled sandwiches briefly in a skillet or oven for added texture and warmth before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks!
Notes
- For a more traditional Philly cheesesteak, use thinly sliced ribeye instead of ground beef.
- Adding mushrooms is optional but adds extra flavor and umami.
- You can substitute provolone with American cheese or mozzarella for different tastes.
- Toasting the hoagie rolls enhances texture and prevents sogginess.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
