Instructions

Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are softened and translucent, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Season the Mixture: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly throughout the beef and vegetables.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese into the skillet and stir continuously until the cheese has melted and is fully incorporated, giving the mixture a creamy, cheesy texture.
Serve: Spoon the hot, cheesy beef mixture onto the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar if desired for different flavor profiles.
To add extra flavor, consider adding garlic or a bit of mustard during the cooking process.
For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Use fresh hoagie rolls for an authentic Philly cheesesteak style experience.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
