Ingredients

For the Cheesesteak Filling

8 ounces 90% lean ground beef Use high-quality ground beef for better flavor and texture.
1 cup mixed bell peppers and onions About 150g.
2 slices provolone cheese Feel free to switch up the cheeses.
1 whole wheat hoagie roll About 90g; can substitute with other bread or lettuce wraps.
1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the beef and vegetables.
to taste Salt
to taste Pepper

Method

Preparation

Thinly slice ½ green bell pepper, ½ red bell pepper, and 1 medium yellow onion. Set aside.

Cooking

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 8 ounces of 90% lean ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Push the beef to one side of the pan. Add the sliced peppers and onions to the other side with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized, about 7 minutes. Then mix the beef and veggies together.

Assembly

Slice the whole wheat hoagie roll lengthwise but don’t cut all the way through.
Layer the beef and veggie mixture evenly inside the roll.
Top the beef mixture with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
Place the sandwich under a preheated broiler or in a toaster oven at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.
Enjoy immediately or let cool before packing into meal prep containers.

Notes

If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To maintain freshness, consider freezing the beef and veggie mixture in a separate container from the hoagie roll. When ready to eat, simply reheat before assembling your sandwich.
