Ingredients:
- Spaghetti noodles
- Ground beef
- Prego spaghetti sauce
- Sub buns
- Spray butter
- Lawry’s Garlic seasoning
- Mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Spaghetti:
- Cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions.
- While the noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, add the Prego spaghetti sauce to the beef, and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Sub Buns:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Cut out the center of the sub buns to create a hollow space.
- Use spray butter on the inside of the sub buns, then sprinkle Lawry’s garlic seasoning evenly over the buttered surface.
- Assemble the Dish:
- Once the spaghetti is ready, fill the hollowed-out sub buns with the cooked spaghetti and meat sauce mixture.
- Add Cheese and Bake:
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top of the spaghetti-filled sub buns.
- Bake:
- Place the assembled sub buns on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully remove the sub buns from the oven.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
here are a few additional tips to enhance your spaghetti-filled sub buns:
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to your spaghetti filling, like sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms) or different types of cheese for added flavor variation.
- Prevent Soggy Buns: To avoid the sub buns becoming too soggy from the sauce, lightly toast them in the oven for a few minutes before adding the spaghetti. This helps maintain their structure while holding the spaghetti.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Try different seasonings or herbs for a personalized touch. Italian seasoning, oregano, or basil can complement the flavors of the spaghetti nicely.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, consider topping the finished sub buns with fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or basil, for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Portion Control: If you’re serving these as a part of a meal, consider cutting the sub buns into halves or smaller portions for more manageable servings.
-
Side Pairings: Serve the spaghetti-filled sub buns with a side salad or some roasted vegetables to create a balanced and satisfying meal.
