# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F.

03 - Push vegetables to the side of the pan and add ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
04 - Stir together the beef and vegetables. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes.
05 - Slice hoagie rolls and spread butter on the insides. Toast in the oven for 3–5 minutes until lightly crisp.

07 - Serve immediately, optionally with pickled peppers or extra condiments.
