Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Beef Mixture
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Melt the Cheese
Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Place the American cheese slices on top of the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Sandwich
Split the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise but do not cut all the way through. Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the insides of the rolls. Using a spatula, scoop the beef and melted cheese mixture into each roll.
