Description
Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks became a late-night staple back in my Austin apartment, when quick, cheesy, crowd-pleasing sandwiches kept friends hanging around the counter. Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks felt playful and practical: sauté peppers and onions, brown the beef, melt provolone, and tuck it all into warm hoagies. On busy nights, I’d wrap the loaded rolls in foil and finish them in the oven for that steamy, melty magic. Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks deliver big flavor fast—savory, gooey, and budget-friendly—so weeknights stay fun and stress-free without sacrificing that classic cheesesteak vibe.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb ground beef (85–90% lean)
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1–2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp steak seasoning
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8–12 slices provolone cheese
4–6 hoagie rolls, buttered or mayo-toasted
Optional: mushrooms, hot cherry peppers, or Cheez Whiz
Instructions
1. Split hoagie rolls, butter or mayo cut sides, and toast until golden. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high; cook sliced onion and bell peppers with a pinch of salt until softened and lightly charred, 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Add ground beef to skillet, season with steak seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook until deeply browned, 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
4. Stir in garlic and Worcestershire; cook 30–60 seconds. Return veggies to skillet and stir to combine.
5. Reduce heat to low; arrange provolone over mixture, cover, and let melt 1–2 minutes.
6. Pile cheesy beef-pepper mix onto toasted hoagies. Wrap in foil and bake at 350°F for 5–8 minutes for extra melty sandwiches.
Notes
Get color on onions and peppers for sweetness and depth.
Brown beef well without overcrowding the pan.
Toast rolls to prevent sogginess once filled.
Melt cheese in the pan and again in foil for classic cheesesteak texture.
Store filling separately up to 3 days; assemble before eating.
