Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large green bell pepper diced small, about 1 1/4 cups
1 medium sweet onion, diced small, about 1 1/4 cups
2 pounds lean ground beef such as 90/10 or 93/7, beef to fat ratio
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch red pepper flakes
2/3 cup tap water
12 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese, shredded
12 ounces white American cheese, cut up
6-pack small sub rolls
Instructions
- In a large skillet or braiser, heat olive oil over medium high and once hot, add peppers and onions and saute for two minutes.
- Add ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and pepper flakes and cook beef to brown. Do not drain.
- Add water, shredded cheddar and cut up American and reduce heat to medium.
- Stir and cook. The cheese will melt into the beef and water and the mixture will become creamy.
- Cook slowly until the water evaporates and the mixture thickens. When lifted out with a spoon, the beef mixture should stay firm and not run off. This slow cooking process should take about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it get too thick and stick. If it is too thick, simply add a little water to thin.
- Remove from heat, spoon into cut sub rolls and serve.
- Dinner in 30 minutes.
