Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- ½ tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup low sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 slices white American or provolone cheese
- 4 sandwich rolls toasted
Instructions
Cooking
- Brown the beef. Cook the beef in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper, then remove and drain extra fat.
- Cook the vegetables. Melt the butter and cook the onion and pepper 4 to 5 minutes until they start to brown.
- Build the sauce. Lower the heat, return the beef, and add garlic powder, Worcestershire, and broth, scraping the pan for about 1 minute.
- Thicken. Stir in the cornstarch for about 1 minute until glossy. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water if dry. The beef should reach 160 degrees F.
- Melt the cheese. Remove from the heat, lay the cheese on top, and let it melt 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve. Spoon the filling onto the rolls and serve right away.
Notes
Substitutions: Use provolone or American cheese, and ground turkey cooked to 165 degrees F in place of beef.
Tips: Dice the vegetables small and melt the cheese off the heat so it stays smooth.
Storage: Refrigerate the filling up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat to 165 degrees F.
