Description
A fast and budget-friendly take on the classic Philly cheesesteak, using ground beef for quick preparation and great flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 hoagie rolls
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Heat a thin film of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and starting to brown, about 6–8 minutes.
- Push the onions to one side of the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef, and brown it without stirring for a minute. Then, break it apart and cook until no pink remains.
- Season the beef and onions with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and drain excess fat if needed.
- Split the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Fill each roll with the beef-and-onion mixture.
- Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone. Cover loosely with foil or place under the broiler for about 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and rolls are toasty.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot.
Notes
For different flavors, try American or Cheez Whiz instead of provolone. You can also substitute hoagie rolls with kaiser rolls or baguette halves. For a leaner option, use ground turkey or plant-based crumbles.
