My family loves the meat sauce and cheese tucked into the hollowed-out buns. Add a crisp salad for a complete meal. Ingredients:
8 submarine or hoagie buns (8 inches) |
1 pound ground beef |
1 cup spaghetti sauce |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon italian seasoning |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Make a 2-in.-wide V-shaped cut in the center of each bun to within 1 inch of bottom. Remove cut portion and save for another use. Place buns on an ungreased baking sheet.
2. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, garlic powder and Italian seasoning; heat through.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Spoon meat sauce into buns; top with ricotta mixture. Cover loosely with foil.
4. Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses; bake, uncovered, 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 8 servings.
