beef

🥗Healthier: lean turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey is lower in fat, while ground beef is often more affordable.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread is more nutritious, while white bread is often cheaper.

1

Start by heating 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. We want that oil nice and hot before we add in the beef.

2

Add the 1 lb of ground beef and the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, or until the beef is browned and the onion is soft and translucent. Sprinkle in the 2 teaspoons of McCormick's Montreal Steak Spice to give that beef an extra kick of flavor.

3

Toss in the chopped green bell pepper and minced garlic. Let them cook together with the beef for about 3 minutes, just enough to soften the pepper and release that wonderful garlic aroma.

4

Now, it’s time to add the creamy element. Pour in the 1 ¼ cup of cream of mushroom soup and stir in the 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld into one delicious mixture.

5

Turn off the heat and fold in 1 ½ cups of grated cheddar cheese. The residual heat will melt the cheese, creating a creamy, cheesy beef mixture that’s absolutely irresistible.

6

Spoon that cheesy beef mixture onto the hoagie rolls. Be generous—you want every bite to be packed with flavor. Serve the sandwiches warm!
