Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high.
  2. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender. If using, add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef to the pan. Break apart and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together properly for about 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Place a slice of cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
  7. Once the cheese has melted, spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into each roll.
  8. Optionally, toast the rolls for added texture before serving.

Notes

Serve the cheesesteaks hot, with extra toppings like hot sauce or sliced jalapeños if you enjoy some heat. They pair well with chips, fries, or a simple green salad on the side. If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving again.
