Notes
Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for a lighter version.
Add sliced mushrooms for extra savory flavor.
Try mozzarella, white American, cheddar, or Monterey Jack instead of provolone.
Add diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Serve the filling over baked potatoes, rice, or fries instead of buns.
Store leftover filling in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth or water if needed, or microwave in 30-second intervals.
Toast fresh buns before serving for the best texture.
