Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, to create a pocket. Stuff each roll with the beef mixture.

  4. 4

    Top with Cheese

    Place two slices of white American cheese on top of the beef filling in each roll.

  5. 5

    Butter the Rolls

    Spread softened butter on the outside of each stuffed roll.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the stuffed rolls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
