Description
A quick and delicious 30-minute recipe for Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches featuring sautéed onions, bell peppers, and melted American cheese served on toasted hoagie rolls.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound ground beef, 90% lean
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz white American cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls, 7 inches each
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare the hoagie rolls for toasting.
- Cook Vegetables and Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion, diced green bell pepper, ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease if necessary to keep the filling from being greasy.
- Prepare Rolls: While the beef mixture cooks, slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on a baking sheet to toast in the oven.
- Add Worcestershire Sauce and Cheese: When the beef is fully cooked, stir in Worcestershire sauce for added flavor. Tear the American cheese into small pieces and stir them into the beef mixture. Lower the heat to low and continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and the mixture becomes creamy. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Toast Rolls: Place the baking sheet with the hoagie rolls in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until they are warmed through and lightly toasted.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Divide the creamy ground beef mixture evenly among the toasted hoagie rolls. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your quick Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.
Notes
- Use 90% lean ground beef to reduce excess grease while keeping flavor.
- Worcestershire sauce adds a savory depth; do not omit if possible.
- For a cheesier melt, tear the cheese rather than slicing to help it incorporate evenly.
- Feel free to add hot sauce or sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- If hoagie rolls are unavailable, use any sturdy sandwich rolls or baguette.
