Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Ketchup
• 2 tsp Mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 Large sandwich rolls or hoagie buns
• 2 tbsp Butter, melted (optional)
• 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut a shallow, oval opening on the top of each sandwich roll or hoagie bun, then hollow out the center, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread on the sides and bottom. Set the hollowed-out rolls aside and save the removed bread for another use, if desired.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the beef mixture is evenly coated in the sauce. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the hollowed-out rolls, packing it down slightly. Top each filled roll with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Brush the outer edges of the rolls with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish (optional).

Step 8

Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the hamburger boats from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm.
