Just like the classic sandwich, but with juicy ground beef instead. The beef is seasoned with Italian seasoning, studded with onions, garlic, and bell peppers, and served on chewy rolls with copious amounts of stretchy cheese.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 bell peppers any color(s), seeded and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup beef broth or water
1/4 cup marsala wine or more beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice
1 baguette cut into 4 equal pieces, or sandwich rolls, warmed if desired (or 4 baked potatoes or sweet potatoes)
Chopped fresh parsley for serving optional

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the beef broth, marsala wine, and tomato paste and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced (if you'd like a "saucier" beef mixture, partially cover the pan). Spoon the beef mixture onto the baguette or rolls and top with cheese. Top with parsley (if using) and serve.
