Instructions
- Prep Your Veggies: First, grab those yellow onions and green bell pepper. Dice them up into nice, even pieces. I always feel like I’m chopping for a small army when I make these, but trust me, they cook down. Mince your garlic too – the smell is just divine and lets you know good things are coming!
- Brown the Beef: Get a large skillet or cast iron pan sizzling over medium-high heat. Add your ground beef and break it up with a spoon. You want it nicely browned all over, no pink bits left. This is where all that flavor starts building, hon. Don’t forget to drain off any excess grease; I learned that the hard way, remember?
- Sauté the Aromatics: Once the beef is browned and drained, toss in your diced onions and bell peppers. Let them soften, stirring occasionally, until they start to get tender and a little translucent, about 5-7 minutes. This is when the kitchen starts smelling amazing, that sweet onion aroma mixing with the beef.
- Build the Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks Flavor: Now, stir in your minced garlic and cook for just another minute until it’s fragrant – don’t let it burn! Then, pour in the Worcestershire sauce. Give it a good stir to coat everything. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, letting those flavors really meld together for your Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks.
- Toast the Rolls: While the filling is simmering, slice your hoagie rolls lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through; you want them hinged. You can lightly toast them in a dry pan or under the broiler for a minute or two. This gives them a little crispness and helps them stand up to the juicy filling.
- Assemble and Melt: Divide the Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks mixture into sections in the pan. Lay a slice or two of provolone cheese over each section, letting it get nice and melty. Once the cheese is gooey, use a spatula to scoop a cheesy beef portion into each toasted roll. Serve immediately, because melty cheese waits for no one!
