Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 4 ounces button mushrooms, diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup low sodium beef broth
- 1 & 1/2 cups shredded Provolone or Monterey Jack cheese
- Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Prepare Bread: Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise over both halves of the bread and place them on a baking sheet.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Season Beef: Season the beef mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and simmer until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble Bread: Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then cut into portions. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.
