Garlic Cheese Bread Rolls with Tomato and Meat Topping

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the 4 frozen bread rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until slightly puffed but not fully cooked.

Step 2

Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut a deep cross into the top of each roll, being careful not to cut through the bottom.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 0.5 lb ground beef with 0.5 tsp salt, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 4

Stir the 0.5 cup tomato sauce and 1 tsp dried oregano into the beef. Simmer for 3 minutes until thickened slightly.

Step 5

Spread 2 tbsp garlic butter inside the cuts of each roll. Stuff each roll with 1 cup shredded mozzarella, dividing evenly.

Step 6

Spoon the meat mixture over the tops of the rolls, pressing gently. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown. Let cool 2 minutes before serving.
