The New Staple.
I’ve been asking everyone to pick me up a hot Philly for 6 years, and I recently discovered just how easy it is to make one.
Ready In: 16 Minutes
Serves: 2 people
Ingredients
8 slices roast beef deli slices
2 forkfuls of Mama Lil’s peppers
1 Tbs of butter
2 sandwich slices of Cheddar cheese
1/2 of a yellow onion
¼ cup of warm water
2 hoagies, halved
Preparation
Heat a cast iron pan on medium
Thinly slice half of your yellow onion. Shoot for 1/8th” or thinner
Cook
Drop your butter underneath your onions on one half of the pan; scoop in the Mama Lil’s in the other half.
They can touch but can't canoodle
When your onions are golden, and your peppers are charred, evenly distribute them into your hoagies.
Make two hoagie-shaped parallel piles of meat in your pan.
Top the meat with the Cheddar.
Pour in the water and cover the pan for about 30 seconds while the cheese turns into a gooey mess.
Scoop into your sandwiches
