Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter plus more for buns
  • 1 medium onion halved and sliced
  • 1 green pepper or half green and half red so it's pretty
  • 1 pound steak 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick, grilled
  • Tostito's Queso Cheese dip about 1/2 cup
  • 4 fresh hoagie buns
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and green pepper. Saute until soft (about 8 minutes).
  • While onions and pepper are cooking, slice steak into 1/4-inch slices against the grain.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and put in a dark cookie sheet to get hot. Split the buns in half, and butter the insides. When veggies are done, add the steak.
  • Place the buns, butter-side down, on the hot cookie sheet.
  • Heat steak until warm.
  • Add about a 1/2 cup of queso cheese dip to the hot veggies and meat -- you want enough to make it creamy, but not soaked.
  • Pull the pan out of the oven when the buns are toasted. Turn the oven to broil.
  • Flip the buns over on the pan, so that the toasted side is facing up. Fill each bun with 1/4 of the veggie-steak mixture, and place mozzarella on top.
  • Put the sandwiches back in the oven, under the broiler, until the mozzarella is melted.
  • Serve hot!

Notes

  • This delicious recipe is easy to make ahead and can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days for the perfect lunch later in the week.
  • I'll often make steak the night before (or earlier in the week) and just cook enough so that I have leftovers to make this recipe. Cooking the steak ahead of time cuts down on the time it takes to make this meal.
  • No store-bought nacho cheese? You can make my homemade nacho sauce for this recipe.
  • I have a thing for a hearty dinner-worthy sandwich and these are amazing. If you love a sandwich for dinner you'll love my favorite sloppy Joe recipe; you'll never guess the secret ingredient in those. My other favorite is this Ultimate Pulled Pork Sandwich, long live all the great dinner sandwiches!
