Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 8 oz Mozzarella cheese
• 4 Large sandwich rolls
• 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Beef broth
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.

Step 5

Drain any excess fat from the skillet and lower the heat to medium-low.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

While the beef mixture is cooking, preheat your broiler to high.

Step 8

Slice the sandwich rolls in half lengthwise and lightly spread the insides with softened butter.

Step 9

Toast the sandwich rolls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until golden and crispy.

Step 10

Evenly divide the cooked ground beef mixture among the bottom halves of the toasted rolls.

Step 11

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the beef mixture.

Step 12

Return the assembled sandwich bottoms to the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Top the melted mozzarella with fresh spinach leaves for a burst of freshness.

Step 14

Place the top halves of the sandwich rolls on top and serve warm.
