Galactic Beef Melts
with Blue Corn Tortilla Chips & Hot Sauce
- Sesame
- Soy
- Wheat
- Milk
Nebula may have a tough exterior, but deep down she's secretly soft. And just like our bio-mechanical buddy, this galaxy-approved beef melt is crisp and toasty on the outside and tender and melty on the inside. The filling is made with seasoned ground beef, onion, and Dijon mustard, then loaded up with melted cheese. It’s piled into toasted baguettes along with roasted long green pepper, plus a drizzle of hot sauce for a fiery kick. Feeling blue? We have one more trick up our cybernetic sleeve: blue corn tortilla chips for a quantum asteroid-shattering crunch!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
• Toss green pepper on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-22 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. • Add beef*, remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.
• Slice baguettes lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through. Toast, cut sides up, in oven until lightly golden, 3-5 minutes.
• Once beef is done, stir in stock concentrate, mustard, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Top with Mexican cheese blend; cover pan until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes.
• Fill baguettes with beef filling and roasted green pepper. Top with as much hot sauce as you like. • Divide sandwiches and tortilla chips between plates. Serve.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the tasty, cheesy sandwich; some found it reminiscent of a Philly cheesesteak or sloppy joe 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though some struggled with pepper roasting times burning the vegetables.
- Suggestions: Consider adding mushrooms, garlic butter, or pickled onions for extra flavor; cook peppers on stovetop to avoid burning.
- Portions: Several felt the single bag of chips was insufficient as a side for two people.
- Bread: Some found the baguettes delicious, while others thought they were too small or tough for the filling.
Reviews from our home cooks
Outstanding flavors here, but 2 notes: the green pepper completely burned to a crisp with the provided instructions. I'd suggest shaving 5-7 minutes off the recipe roasting time. Also, splitting a single snack-size bag of plain tortilla chips between two adults - about 6 chips per person - just wasn't a good side. Normally your sides are a lot more generous, so this was a bit disappointing.
This is absolutely my favorite meal ever from Hello fresh! I did add a can of tomato paste to make it a little saucy. My entire family asked if I could make it weekly. The baguettes, chips and filling are delicious!
Loved this meal! So easy to make, portions were huge and all around fan favorite. May even add this recipe to our regular rotation
Wasn't expecting this one to be as good as it was. The patty melt style meat and sauce was super tasty.
I'm not usually a sandwich girl and I don't care much for mustard but it was delicious! Only complaint is I'd like either a homemade dipping sauce for the chips or another side option.
Honestly so yummy, maybe extra seasoning for the beef but besides that it was so good
Great sandwich. Easy to make. I liked being able to adjust the spice heat at the end. Fresh 1st serving was good. 2nd serving warmed up for later was still good, but the bread had gotten a little chewy.
This had great flavor and was similar to a burger without having to form the patties. We liked scooping up the extra meat mixture with the tortilla chips.
Really good. For some reason I expected this to have a sliced beef instead of ground beef, I think it would've been better and less messy, but it was still tasty.
85% lean ground beef is a little too fatty for me, even after draining excess fat. My roasted pepper ended up burnt and inedible following the instructions. 15 minutes at 450F is probably sufficient for all pepper strip thicknesses. Or reduce oven temp to prevent burning. Should also specify pepper strip thickness. I cut mine into 1/8" strips, but 1/4" could probably also work.
