Savory, cheesy, and loaded with flavor, these hoagies are proof that simple ingredients can create something magical. Perfect for a cozy night in or a casual dinner, they’re a guaranteed hit!

The Vibe

Think of these as a comforting twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak—elevated with ground beef, sautéed mushrooms, and green bell peppers. Toasty, cheesy, and oh-so-satisfying.

What You’ll Need:

• 🥩 Ground beef – 1 lb

• 🍄 Mushrooms – 1 cup, finely chopped

• 🌶️ Green bell peppers – 1, thinly sliced

• 🧄 Garlic – 2 cloves, minced (optional but recommended)

• 🧅 Onion – 1 small, diced (optional)

• 🥖 Hoagie bread – 2–4 rolls

• 🧀 Provolone or mozzarella cheese – 4–6 slices

• 🥄 Worcestershire sauce – 1–2 tsp

• 🧈 Butter – 2 tbsp

• Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste

Let’s Make It:

1. Sauté the Veggies

• Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic (if using) and sauté until fragrant.

• Toss in the mushrooms and bell peppers, cooking until tender. Set aside.

2. Cook the Beef

• In the same skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat and season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

• Stir the cooked veggies back in with the beef and mix well.

3. Toast the Hoagies

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread butter or garlic butter inside the hoagie rolls and toast for 3–5 minutes until golden.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches

• Fill each hoagie with the beef mixture. Top with cheese slices.

• Place the filled hoagies on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve and Enjoy

• Serve hot with your favorite sides. Chips, fries, or a simple side salad all pair wonderfully!

Last December, I decided to cut out alcohol and slowly stop eating meat and dairy. I immediately lost 10 pounds (from no booze), and then as the weeks went by I cut down on meat and dairy until I was finally off of them. I am now taking an online culinary plant-based chef class and enjoying it thoroughly. I eat a lot of fiber now which keeps me from getting hungry and helps promote weight loss. There was a time when I couldn’t imagine not eating chicken, but you know it raises the cholesterol and it has no fiber …so I’m doing pretty well without it.

Sweet Potato Meatloaf Pot Pie with Homemade Buttery Crust

This dish is the ultimate comfort food fusion—hearty, savory, and oh-so-satisfying. A delicious twist on classic meatloaf, tucked into a flaky, buttery crust, with sweet potatoes adding a hint of sweetness that complements the savory filling perfectly. It’s everything you love about a pot pie, elevated to a whole new level.

The Story

I’ve always been a fan of comforting meatloaf, but I wanted to try something different and combine it with a pot pie. After playing around with some ingredients, I found the perfect balance of flavors—sweet potatoes, ground beef, and a rich, homemade buttery crust. The result is a dish that’s as cozy as it is creative. Making the pie from scratch takes a little extra effort, but the satisfaction of pulling it out of the oven with that golden, flaky crust is totally worth it. This recipe is one of those meals that makes you feel like you’re wrapping yourself in a warm blanket on a chilly day.

What You’ll Need (serves 4-6)

For the Meatloaf Filling:

• 🥔 Sweet potatoes – 2 medium, peeled and cubed

• 🥩 Ground beef – 1 lb

• 🧅 Onion – 1 small, chopped

• 🧄 Garlic – 2 cloves, minced

• 🍶 Milk – 1/4 cup

• 🧂 Bread crumbs – 1/2 cup

• 🧀 Parmesan cheese – 1/4 cup, grated

• 🧂 Salt and pepper – to taste

• 🥚 Egg – 1

For the Buttery Crust:

• 🧈 Butter – 1/2 cup (cold and cubed)

• 🍞 All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups

• 🧂 Salt – 1/4 tsp

• 🥄 Cold water – 4-6 tbsp

Let’s Make It

Step 1: Cook the Sweet Potatoes

1. Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash with a fork or potato masher. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Meatloaf Filling

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, mashed sweet potatoes, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Mix until well combined, then form the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased 9-inch pie dish.

Step 3: Prepare the Buttery Crust

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Slowly add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork it.

3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Pot Pie

1. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit the top of your pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough over the meatloaf filling, trimming any excess dough. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

Don’t underestimate the power of glass noodles! They’ve already saved tons of sharks!

Shark fins have always been seen as a luxury ingredient in traditional Asian food culture, representing wealth and status. In ancient royal banquets, official weddings, or other important occasions, shark fin soup was a must-have dish. Catching and processing shark fins was a difficult and costly task, making them expensive. So, being able to serve shark fin soup was a way to show off the host’s financial power and social standing. If there was shark fin on the table, it was like saying, “Look, I’m rich and I can afford this!”

Some people believe that eating shark fins makes them look cool and important, but is it really that impressive? Haha! Some clever street hawkers came up with a brilliant idea – creating bowl shark fin soup with glass noodle instead of expensive shark fins. It is just as smooth and delicious, but the price is much more affordable! This way, most people can enjoy the taste of “shark fin” too, without spending a fortune and while helping protect sharks.
