Description

This Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak is a quick and delicious twist on the iconic American sandwich. Featuring seasoned ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted cheese, all nestled in a soft hoagie roll, it’s a budget-friendly crowd-pleaser perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls

  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (or 4 slices)

  • Optional: mushrooms, jalapeños, hot sauce


Instructions

  • Prep Veggies: Slice the bell pepper and onion thinly.

  • Sauté Veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the peppers and onions until soft but still slightly crisp. Remove from the skillet.

  • Cook Beef: In the same skillet, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.

  • Season: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Combine: Return veggies to the skillet with the beef. Mix well.

  • Melt Cheese: Lower heat and add cheese. Stir gently until melted and fully combined.

  • Assemble: Slice the hoagie rolls and spoon the beef mixture into each. Add an extra cheese slice on top if desired.

  • Serve Hot: Toast the sandwiches briefly for extra crunch, if desired.

Notes

Use turkey or plant-based ground meat for a lighter option.

For added richness, melt a cheese slice directly on the sandwich after assembling.

Great for meal prep—store filling separately and reheat as needed.

Serve with potato wedges, salad, or steamed veggies.
