Preheat the oven to 350° F.
To a parchment paper lined baking sheet add 1 Italian loaf, cut lengthwise. Spread 4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, softened to room temperature onto both sides of the loaf. Then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of garlic powder.
Bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes (or until the loaf is slightly toasted.) While the loaf is baking move forward with the recipe.
To a large skillet add 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 cup diced yellow onion and 1 cup diced green bell pepper. Cook over medium heat for up to 7 minutes so the beef is no longer pink and the onions and peppers are soft.
To the skillet add 1 cup low-sodium beef broth, 2 Tablespoons ketchup, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce is thicker.
To each of the loaf halves, add half of the meat mixture.
Top the meat mixture with 6 slices of provolone cheese.
Top the cheese with the remainder of the meat mixture.
Top the meat mixture with the remaining 6 slices of provolone cheese.
Place in the oven for 5-6 minutes at 350° F. Optional: after it has cooked, broil on high for 1-3 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Do not walk away from the oven or it can burn very quickly.
Remove from the oven and top with 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley (optional).
