Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs Ground beef 80/20 lean ratio
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 1 Green bell pepper diced
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 4 oz Provolone cheese sliced
  • 4 Hoagie rolls or buns toasted
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet,
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart into small crumbles with a wooden spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess grease, leaving a little for flavor.
  2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the peppers have softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the meat and vegetables.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Place the provolone cheese slices on top of the mixture. Remove from heat, cover the skillet with a lid, and let sit for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto toasted hoagie rolls or buns. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, toast the buns on a griddle with a bit of butter to prevent sogginess. Leftover meat mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on stovetop with a splash of broth. For variations, try ground turkey for a lighter option or add red pepper flakes for heat.
