Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Halve, core, and dice half the apple (all for 4).
• Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Add scallion whites, mushrooms, ground beef*, stock concentrate, a pinch of salt, and pepper; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until mushrooms are browned and beef is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. • Meanwhile, tear cheese into 1-inch pieces. • Reduce heat to low; stir in cheese, cream sauce base, and ⅛ tsp nutmeg (¼ tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the nutmeg—we sent more!) Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and mixture has thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: While beef cooks, move on to the next step!
• Halve baguettes lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through. Toast until golden brown. • In a large bowl, combine apple, arugula, and Greek vinaigrette.
• Fill baguettes with cheesy beef and mushroom mixture and close to form sandwiches. • Top salad with almonds; serve alongside sandwiches.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
We loved the sandwiches. We browned the mushrooms in a dry pan before adding the olive oil, onions, and ground beef. This makes the mushrooms more flavorful. The arugula salad was bitter. We would get this every time it is available.
This was so easy, filled with flavor and better than a restaurant meal.
It was easy to make and everyone in the family enjoyed it.
A new taste for my husband, and he loved it. Fresh, easy, and so delicious
Another great recipe that I really enjoyed. I like the easy preparation and that it's on a bigger baguette. Cheesy beef and mushrooms makes for a delicious sandwich. I will say the arugula was on its very last legs when I opened the bag. I know it's really hard to keep produce like that fresh but it was a bit disappointing.
I really like this. I wish the buns would have been a little bigger because I had a lot of meat mushroom mixture left over
I liked the taste of having the cheese melted with the beef instead of just placing it on top
My idea of a drizzle and Hello Fresh's idea of a drizzle [of oil] might be different. It took AWHILE to cook down the sauce mixture because of how much oil I had + the oil from the beef
This was fantastic and the best steak and cheese I've had other than a few legendary shops I've gone to.
I really liked this one, it was sort of like a different type of sloppy joe. I enjoyed it and wish it was offered more often.
