A hearty and delicious Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak sandwich featuring seasoned ground beef, sautéed onions and peppers, melted provolone cheese, and a creamy mayo spread all layered inside a crusty French bread loaf, then baked to perfection for a warm and satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 24 ounces lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 green pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquid and Thickener

  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sandwich Components

  • 1 large French bread loaf or choice of bread
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 8-12 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a pan over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat to keep the sandwich from becoming greasy.
  2. Sauté Vegetables and Season: Add sliced onion, grated garlic, and sliced green pepper to the pan with the beef. Sprinkle in the steak seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Thicken the Mixture: In a measuring cup, combine the cornstarch and low sodium beef broth, stirring until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pan with the beef and vegetables. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly to hold together well in the sandwich.
  4. Prepare the Bread Base: Slice the French bread loaf horizontally and slather the bottom half generously with mayonnaise. Then, layer four slices of provolone cheese evenly over the mayo to create a gooey base layer.
  5. Add Meat and Cheese Layers: Spoon the warm beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Follow with another layer of four slices of provolone on top of the meat mixture to ensure the sandwich is rich and cheesy.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on the top half of the French bread loaf. Place it carefully on top of the layered filling, forming a complete sandwich.
  7. Bake the Sandwich: Wrap the sandwich tightly in aluminum foil to hold in moisture. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 30 to 35 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is warmed through.
  8. Serve: Remove the foil and slice the sandwich into individual portions. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the melty, savory goodness of your homemade Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and keep the sandwich flavorful but not oily.
  • If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the veggies.
  • For a softer crust, wrap the sandwich tightly with foil while baking to retain moisture.
  • Feel free to substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese if preferred.
  • You can prepare the beef mixture ahead of time, then assemble and bake just before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
