Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls in half. Place the bottom layer on a baking sheet and cover it with 4 slices of cheese.
  • Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown it completely. Once the beef is browned, stir in the onions and red bell peppers and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, water, salt, pepper, and cook for 25 minutes over medium-high heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the 25 minutes are up, check for seasoning.
  • Pour the beef mixture all over the sandwiches, you don't have to use all of the beef! You can leave some behind.
  • Top the beef with the remaining cheese and bread. Brush the buns with melted butter and top it off with sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and enjoy!
