My family loves the meat sauce and cheese tucked into the hollowed-out buns. Add a crisp salad for a complete meal. — Cindy Morelock, Afton, Tennessee

Baked Lasagna in a Bun Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

20 25 45

Ingredients

8 submarine or hoagie buns (8 inches)
1 pound ground beef
1 cup spaghetti sauce
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions

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 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; 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, 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 8 servings.

Cut this down for two. It was wonderful and we can finally enjoy Lasagna for two.

These were good. Next time I'd cut down on the ricotta mixture but otherwise they are great! Thanks for the recipe.

Great hot sandwich! Tastes just like lasagna without the fuss.

Very good. Just make sure your rolls are deep enough. Mine were a little to small. I couldn't get enough filling in.

I was a little skeptical, but this was actually really good and super-easy to make. :) My husband said he likes it better than the real thing!

These were delicious and yes, we will be making these again. I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta because that's what I use in my lasagna and that's what I had on hand. Everyone loved these!

My husband didn't like the garlic but otherwise it was tasty and unique. The ends of the bread were somewhat hard to eat because they got so crispy so I would just cut down the baking time by 5 minutes next time.
