In a large skillet or on a griddle, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning it with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and crispy.
Once the beef is cooked, create a mound in the center and top with slices of pepper jack cheese. Cover to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
Spread butter on both sides of the hoagie buns and toast them in a skillet or on the griddle for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the cheesy beef mixture in each bun and topping with shredded lettuce and pico de gallo.
Serve immediately while cheese is melty and enjoy!
