ingredients for sandwiches
 
GROUND BEEF:
I prefer to use a lean ground beef that way there isn’t much (if any) fat to drain off. But any ground beef you have on hand will work, just be sure to drain off any excess grease. Ground turkey or chicken can also be used instead of ground beef.

ONION OPTIONS:
This recipe calls for yellow onion. But feel free to swap it with white onion, sweet onions or even red onion. Also, the onion can be omitted if that is your preference.
 
PEPPER OPTIONS:
This recipe calls for green bell pepper. Red, yellow or orange bell peppers can be used instead for a slightly sweeter peppiness.

CHEESE OPTIONS:
This recipe calls for good old Velveeta Cheese. If Velveeta isn’t your thing, sub with any melty cheese such as shredded Colby/jack, mozzarella or American.

STORAGE AND REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: 

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, wrap subs in foil. Bake at 375ºF for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
