Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for heat
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Set aside.
- Preheat the griddle over medium heat. Use half of the vegetable oil to sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the griddle and set aside.
- Season the ground beef with the prepared spice mix. Add the remaining oil to the griddle. Cook the beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
- Return the onions and peppers to the griddle, mixing them with the beef.
- Place cheese slices over the beef mixture, allowing them to melt before stirring them in.
- Toast the rolls or buns on the griddle.
- Assemble the sandwiches with the beef and cheese mixture and serve hot.
Notes
- Griddle Temperature: Preheating the griddle is crucial for achieving a good sear on the beef and preventing sticking. Medium heat is ideal to cook the ingredients thoroughly without burning them.
- Oil Usage: Start with 3 tablespoons as recommended, but be prepared to adjust. If the griddle seems too dry or ingredients begin to stick, add a bit more oil. If your ground beef is very lean, you might need a little extra oil to compensate for the lack of fat.
