Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the green bell pepper and onion into thin slices. Set aside.

Cooking the Meats

  1. 2

    Brown the Ground Beef and Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 3

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the meat mixture. Combine well.

  3. 4

    Heat the Meatballs

    In the same skillet, add the meatballs and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate pan, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion over medium heat until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet with the meat mixture, add the sautéed peppers and onions. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls open and place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 8

    Build the Sandwich

    Spoon the meat and vegetable mixture generously into each hoagie roll. Top each sandwich with two slices of provolone cheese.

Baking

  1. 9

    Melt the Cheese

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled sandwiches in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving
