Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion finely diced
1 pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 slices American cheese
4 hoagies or your favorite buns
4 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 cups lettuce shredded
1 large tomato thinly sliced

Instructions

Heat the 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the 1 small onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the cooked onions from the pan and set aside.
Put the 1 pound lean ground beef into the same hot pan, spreading it out and pressing it down into the pan to get the maximum amount of surface area touching the pan.
Sprinkle the ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper over the meat. Don’t stir the meat, just let it cook until the bottom turn a deep golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Flip the beef, pressing the uncooked side into the pan, and cook until it is a deep golden brown, about another 5 minutes.
Chop the beef to break it apart, add the cooked onions back into the pan. Stir the onions and 1 tablespoon soy sauce into the meat mixture.
Spread the meat back out and place the 4 slices American cheese on top. Let it melt before turning off the heat.
Divide the chopped cheese beef between the buns. Top with mayo, lettuce, and tomato, or toppings of your choice.
