6️⃣ Serve: Serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
Notes
- Feel free to customize by adding your favorite pizza toppings like sautéed onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- For a crispier texture, toast the rolls lightly before adding the beef mixture.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping if you want extra sauciness!
