Lasagna in a Bun

Source: Jan Taylor

1/2 pound ground beef
1 medium onion diced
1 (8 ounces) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg white
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
6 small submarine or hoagie buns

In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning and salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through.

Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup mozzarella, ricotta, egg white, Parmesan and remaining Italian seasoning; mix well.

Cut a thin slice off the top of each bun. Carefully hollow out bun bottoms, leaving a 1/4 inch shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). Spoon meat mixture into buns; top with the cheese mixture into buns; top with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Replace bun tops. Wrap each in heavy duty foil. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until heated through.

Makes 6 servings.

ENJOY!
