Ingredients
8 submarine or hoagie buns (8 inches)1 pound ground beef1 cup spaghetti sauce1 tablespoon garlic powder1 tablespoon Italian seasoning1 cup ricotta cheese1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Make a 2-in.-wide V-shaped cut in the center of each bun to within 1 inch of bottom. Remove cut portion and save for another use. Place buns on an ungreased baking sheet.
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, garlic powder and Italian seasoning; heat through.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Spoon meat sauce into buns; top with ricotta mixture. Cover loosely with foil.
Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses; bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.
