Place the ground beef in a microwave-safe bowl and break it into smaller pieces using a fork or spatula.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the bowl with the beef.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave the beef mixture on high for 4-5 minutes, pausing halfway through to stir and break apart any clumps.
Carefully drain any excess fat or liquid from the bowl to prevent the dish from being greasy.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, salt, and black pepper until the beef mixture is evenly coated.
Microwave the mixture uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce is heated through.
Slice the crusty rolls in half and warm them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds if desired.
Spoon the barbecued beef onto the bottom halves of the rolls and top with the other halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
