Method

Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese until fully melted and smooth.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Beef Melt

    Split the sub rolls in half. Place a generous amount of the cooked beef mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Drizzle the cheese sauce over the beef, then top with pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices. Cover with the top half of the sub roll.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Serve the beef melts warm, optionally with extra cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
