Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil divided
  • 1 1/2 pound Ground Beef 96/4
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 8 oz sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 large 200g White Onion, diced
  • 1 large 150g Bell Pepper, diced
  • 8 slices Provolone or White American Cheese
  • Sliced Banana Peppers optional

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Season with the 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Brown both sides completely for 3-4 minutes each before breaking apart and fully cooking. Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, followed by the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the veggies have softened before adding the beef back to the skillet. Salt and pepper to taste.*
  • Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the top of the skillet. Cover to melt with the residual heat.
  • Serve on a toasted roll with light mayo and sliced peppers, over fries, in sliders or quesadillas, or whatever else you can come up with.

Notes

*You're welcome to add other seasonings (garlic and onion powder, chili powder, etc.) to your cheesesteak skillet.
