Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and break it apart. Cook until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add Vegetables: Add sliced onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until softened and lightly caramelized.

Notes
- For a low-carb option, skip the hoagie rolls and serve over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps.
- Use provolone or mozzarella for classic Philly cheesesteak flavor; swap with cheddar for more sharpness.
- Toasting hoagie rolls adds a nice crunch if serving as sandwiches.
