Philly Cheesesteak

Ok, so Philly Cheesesteaks never look too appetizing but they take less than 5 minutes to make and they are Deeliccciousss!!

1 box of Thinly Sliced Philly Beef Steak (You can buy a box at Walmart in the meat department in their freezer chests for I think $3.00)

2 slices of provolone cheese per sandwich

Hoagie bread (I like to get Le Francais soft french rolls, they are sooo soft, can be found near the bagels)

1/2 an onion, sliced

1/2 a bell pepper, sliced

Sprinkle Italian Seasoning over the top.

Cut up your onion, bell pepper, and prepare provolone cheese in the hoagie sandwhich as the next part goes quick.
Toss your sliced veggies in a medium to high frying pan and then add your meat cooking everything together.
Meat may be cooked from frozen or thawed. Place beef in preheated pan for 20- 30 seconds, tun beef over and begin to stir the meat to break it apart. Cook for another 2 1/2 mintues or until throughly browned.
Salt and Pepper the meat and vegetables really well.
Place inside the haogie with cheese already layed out inside.
Sprinkle italian seasoning over the sandwhich. Enjoy!
Total cooking time is 3 minutes.
Depending the number of beef patties used determines the serving size.
