Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 5

    Layer the Meat Mixture

    Spoon the cooked meat mixture evenly onto each half of the hoagie rolls.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Top each hoagie with slices of provolone cheese, followed by banana peppers and chopped fresh basil.

Final Steps

  1. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.
