This recipe is great because the prep is easy and the process is quick. Dinner on the table in 25-minutes or less makes anyone in charge of the kitchen a happy cook.

- broil safe pan
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add ground beef in one whole piece. Brown the ground beef whole on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once browned, crumble into small pieces and continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked meat to a plate and set aside.
- To the same skillet, melt butter, then add onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add the ground beef back to the skillet with the veggies along with Worcestershire, onion soup mix, and seasonings. Stir to combine and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- At this time turn your broiler to high and place the top rack a few inches from the heat source. Not too close. Divide the meat mixture between the hoagie rolls and top each roll with a slice of cheese.
- Place the rolls on a broiler safe pan and broil for 30-seconds to 1-minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy right away!
