“This tasty recipe is always a hit because it’s a little different,” says Margaret Peterson of Forest City, Iowa.
Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground turkey or beef
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons onion soup mix
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
8 hoagie buns
3/4 cup 4% cottage cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, soup mix, basil and oregano. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through.
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).
3. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese; spoon into buns. Top with meat mixture; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Replace bun tops.
4. Wrap each sandwich in heavy-duty foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 8 servings.
