Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 4 whole wheat hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Push the veggies to one side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the empty side of the skillet. Break the meat apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Mix the cooked beef with the sautéed onions and peppers, then season the mixture with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Divide the beef mixture into four portions in the skillet. Place one slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on top of each portion. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise. Lightly butter the cut sides with unsalted butter and toast them in a separate skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Spoon a portion of the chopped cheese mixture over the lettuce, then top with slices of tomato.
Place the top half of the hoagie roll over the tomato slices and press down gently.
Serve your low sodium chopped cheese sandwiches immediately for a warm, satisfying meal.
