How to Make Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks

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

Directions :

Prep the Skillet: In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high.
Cook Vegetables: 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.
Brown the Beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Break apart and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Season: Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together properly for about 2 minutes.
Melt the Cheese: 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.
Prepare the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
Serve Hot: Optionally, toast the rolls for added texture before serving.

These steps are designed to help you create the ultimate Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks filled with rich flavors and satisfying textures.
