1. Preheat Oven
Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cook Beef Mixture
Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning, and Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks. Continue cooking for about 8 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and no excess moisture remains.
3. Prepare Sub Rolls
Arrange the sub rolls on a baking sheet and spread mayonnaise on one half and ketchup on the other.
4. Assemble Sandwiches
Divide the cooked beef mixture evenly among the sub rolls. Layer two slices of yellow American cheese over the beef on each sandwich.
5. Bake Sandwiches
Place the baking sheet with the assembled sandwiches in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes.
6. Add Vegetables
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and layer the tomato slices and shredded iceberg lettuce over the cheese and beef mixture.
7. Wrap and Serve
Close each sandwich and wrap it tightly in parchment paper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and bacon bits.
Taco seasoning, pepper jack cheese, cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado.
Italian seasoning, mozzarella or provolone cheese, and marinara sauce.
Ground lamb with feta cheese and oregano for a Mediterranean twist.
Substitute ground turkey for a lighter, leaner option.
Select high-quality ground beef, preferably chuck with a fat content of around 20%, for a juicy and flavorful sandwich.
Chop and press the meat with a sturdy metal spatula while cooking to ensure the cheese is mixed thoroughly and the meat is caramelized.
Cook the meat in a cast iron skillet for the best sear and flavor development.
Have all ingredients prepped before cooking to avoid overcooking during the quick assembly process.
Enhance the beef flavor and sear by seasoning well with salt and pepper before cooking.
