Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 8 pieces Small bread rolls
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 120 g Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes and then remove from heat.
Carefully cut the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the centers, creating space for the filling. Save the tops for serving if desired.
Stuff each bread roll with the cooked beef mixture, packing it in gently.
Top each stuffed roll with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the stuffed rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your 'Wee Men'!
