2- In a large stock pot add beef, broth, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano,and parsley. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, add onion and peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

3- Slice rolls half way down the center, Open roll and place a 1/2 slice of cheese on either side. Place on cookie sheet and place in oven, toast rolls about 3-5 minutes until cheese is slightly melted. Remove from oven and top with beef and peppers.
