Notes
- Make ahead: The beef mixture can be cooked up to 4 days in advance. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth to bring it back to life.
- Freezer friendly: Cool the filling completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Cheese options: Provolone is classic, but mozzarella, Swiss, white cheddar, or American cheese all melt beautifully.
- Customize the veggies: Bell peppers and onions are traditional, but you can add mushrooms, jalapeños, or even spinach for a twist.
