CHEESEBURGER SUBS!

CHEESEBURGER SUBS!

This recipe was, without a doubt, prepared in a totally random manner. My family wanted burgers for supper, but I didn’t feel like going to the grocery, and we were all out of buns. After giving it some thought for a while, I concluded that I could still serve them burgers, but not in the way in which they were expected.

Now, I’m not going to try to convince you that they are the same thing; it should come as no surprise that they are not standard burgers. But those are the ones that are most often requested in my home right now. I was out of buns and too lazy to go to the store, so I opened the freezer and noticed that I did have some submarine sandwich buns in front of me. I told you that I was out of buns and that I was too lazy to run to the store. As a result, I snatched them up, and the rest, as they say, is now history; of course, I will tell you about it!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THE SUBS: 

• Submarine buns; I used 4 for 4 servings. 
• 1 Tbsp.Of Olive Oil
• 1 ½ pounds.Of lean ground beef. 
• 2 small diced yellow onions. 
• 1 Tsp.Of sea salt. 
• 1 Tsp.Of freshly ground black pepper. 
•  1 Tbsp.Of garlic powder. 
•  1 Tbsp.Of Onion powder. 
• ½ Cup.Of water. 
• 1 Cup.Of shredded cheddar cheese. 

FOR MAKING THE SAUCE, YOU’LL NEED:

• ½ Cup.Of mayonnaise.
• ¼ Cup.Of sweet relish. 
• 1 Tbsp.Of yellow mustard. 
• ¼ Tsp.Of black pepper. 
• ¼ Tsp.Of sea salt. 
• ½ Tsp.Of garlic powder. 
• ½ Tsp.Of onion powder. 

PREPARATION: 

• 1st Step – Set the temperature in the oven to 400 degrees. 
• 2nd Step – Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and relish together in a bowl. Stir well then season with salt and pepper, then stir in the onion and garlic powders. 
• 3rd Step – In a pan, melt the olive oil over medium heat, then add the ground beef. 
• 4th Step – After the onions have been diced, add them to the steak and mix everything together. Once everything is done cooking, remove any excess grease from the skillet. 
• 5th Step – The ground beef should already be in the pan when you add the seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder). Bring the water to a boil in the pan. 
• 6th Step – Combine all of the ingredients, then continue heating the mixture until there is no more water, then remove the dish away from the heat. 
• 7th Step – Spread parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet. After that, cut the sub rolls in half lengthwise and lay them open side up on the baking sheet. 
• 8th Step – Spread the special sauce over the top side of the roll, and then ladle the ground beef mixture onto the bottom halves of all four rolls in a uniform distribution, and top with the roll tops. 
• 9th Step – On top of the ground beef, evenly distribute the cheddar cheese, then set the baking sheet in the oven and continue baking for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
