Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. You want the oil to shimmer, not smoke.
- Add the sliced onions; stir and let them soften until they turn translucent with some golden edges.
- Push the onions to the side and add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula so it browns evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper while the beef browns; cook until no pink remains and you see browned bits on the pan.
- Lower the heat, spread the beef and onions a bit, and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover briefly to melt the cheese.
- Toast the hoagie rolls until they’re lightly golden and slightly crisp on the inside.
- Fill each roll with the cheesy beef mixture and serve hot.
Notes
Tips: Slice onions ahead and store in the fridge for faster cooking. If beef steams instead of browns, raise heat and avoid crowding the pan. Consider adding smoked paprika or chopped parsley for flavor.
