How to Make 25-Minute Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak

Making this recipe is straightforward and quick. Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 6 ounces mushrooms, chopped or sliced (I prefer chopped fine)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp onion soup mix (such as Lipton)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 4 Hawaiian hoagie rolls
• 4 slices provolone cheese

Directions:

1. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef in one whole piece. Brown it on both sides for about 2-3 minutes until golden.
2. Crumble the cooked beef into small pieces and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onion, sliced green pepper, and chopped mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.
4. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet with the veggies. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, onion soup mix, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Combine well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Turn the broiler to high and adjust the top rack a few inches from the heat source.
6. Divide the meat mixture between the 4 hoagie rolls. Top each with 1 slice of provolone cheese.
7. Place the rolls on a broiler-safe pan. Broil for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy right away!
