Ingredients
  

For the beef mixture
  • 1 pound ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing vegetables.
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers Any color of bell pepper works.
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms Optional, for additional flavor and texture.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Adds depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt To taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper To taste.
  • 4 slices cheese Choose your favorite cheese (American, cheddar, or pepper jack).

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high.
  2. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender. If using, add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef to the pan. Break apart and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together properly for about 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
  7. Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
  8. Optionally, toast the rolls for added texture before serving.
