Ingredients
3/4 pound ground beef1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained2 tablespoons onion soup mix1/4 teaspoon dried basil1/4 teaspoon dried oregano8 hoagie buns3/4 cup 4% cottage cheese1 large egg, lightly beaten1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
Preparation
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, soup mix, basil and oregano. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Cut a thin slice off the top of each bun. Carefully hollow out bun bottoms, leaving a 1/4-in. shell (discard removed bread or save for another use).
In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese; spoon into buns. Top with meat mixture; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Replace bun tops.
Wrap each sandwich in heavy-duty foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
