• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 tomato sauce (8 oz.)
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 can mushrooms (4 oz.)
• 1 tsp. chopped parsley
• 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
• 6 large rolls*

*This calls for something called Pepperidge Farm Club rolls, but any large dinner roll will work, even hard rolls, depending on your own taste.

Directions

Combine first 7 ingredients in bowl. Heat oil in skillet and lightly brown meat mixture. Add onions, tomato sauce and water. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and parsley. Simmer 10 minutes more.

While meat is cooking, prepare rolls in the following manner: Cut a thin slice from the top of each roll and hollow out center with roll. Brown lightly in oven. Fill with meat mixture and top with cheese. Can heat for a few minutes to melt cheese, if desired, or cheese will melt inside warm rolls and with the warm meat. Just watch close as you don't want to get the rolls overly brown.
