Instructions

Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is well browned and cooked through. Once done, carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the mixture flavorful but not greasy.
Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the browned beef in the skillet. Sauté together until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Add Seasoning: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce along with salt and pepper to taste. These seasonings enhance the overall flavor, bringing a savory and slightly tangy depth to the mixture.
Melt Cheese: Mix in the shredded provolone cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese melts fully and combines evenly with the beef and vegetables, creating a rich and creamy texture.
Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the hoagie rolls or hamburger buns. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese if preferred.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
To reduce fat, use lean ground beef (90% lean) but note it may slightly alter the richness.
These sloppy joes are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
