These sandwiches provide the terrific taste of lasagna without the noodles without the noodles and time-consuming preparation. I often make them share at church dinners. Reba Albers, Long Island, North Carolina Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground turkey or beef |
1 medium onion, diced |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1/2 cup ricotta cheese |
1 egg white |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
6 small submarine or hoagie buns (8 inches) |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning and salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup mozzarella, ricotta, egg white, Parmesan and remaining Italian seasoning; mix well.
2. Cut a thin slice off the top of each bun. Carefully hollow out bun bottoms, leaving a 1/4-in. shell. (Discard removed bread or save for another use.) Spoon meat mixture into buns; top with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Replace bun tops. Wrap each in heavy-duty foil. Place on a baking sheet.
3. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
