Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef Rich and savory foundation for the dish.
  • 1 packet onion soup mix Adds depth of flavor with aromatic onion and spices.
  • 0.25 cup water Helps meld flavors without diluting the richness.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the onion soup mix and water to the browned beef, stirring well.
  4. Simmer the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
  5. Stir in half of the shredded cheese until it melts.
  6. Prepare the hoagie rolls by placing them on their sides in a baking dish and cutting a slit without slicing through.
  7. Fill each roll with the beef mixture.
  8. Top the filled sandwiches with the remaining shredded cheese.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes until the rolls are lightly toasted and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

Consider adding sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor. For spice, include chili flakes or jalapeños. Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
