This is adapted from an old TOH Quick Cooking recipe that has saved my tail many times. I keep them on hand in the freezer for those crazy busy times when I don't have time to cook.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup chopped sweet gherkin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 hot dog buns, split
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, add the beef, onion, and garlic; cook and crumble up the meat until the meat is not pink; drain.
2. Add in the ketchup, pickles, salt, pepper, and hot sauce; stir and heat through.
3. Add in cheese; stir to combine.
4. To serve immediately: spoon 1/3 cup mixture into buns and serve.
5. To freeze and serve later: Fill buns with 1/3 cup mixture; wrap individually in heavy-duty foil; seal tightly; will freeze up to 3 months.
6. To use frozen sandwiches: Bake at 400° in foil for 30-35 minutes or until heated.
