Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Bread and Cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Optional
- Hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5–6 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Sauté Vegetables and Season: Add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the browned beef. Sauté the mixture for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fully cooked.
- Prepare to Broil: Preheat your oven broiler to high. Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls, spreading it out nicely to fill each sandwich.
- Add Cheese and Broil: Top each filled hoagie roll with a slice of provolone cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and put them under the broiler for 1–2 minutes. Keep a close watch to ensure the cheese melts perfectly and becomes bubbly without burning.
- Serve Warm: Remove the sandwiches from the broiler and serve immediately. Optionally, add a few dashes of hot sauce on top for an extra kick of flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of this sandwich.
- Add mushrooms or banana peppers to the sautéed vegetables for extra flavor and texture.
- Leftover beef mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for sandwiches or wraps.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free hoagie rolls or sandwich buns.
