This recipe is a party sized version of the classic loose meat sandwich. Full of flavorful beef, slices of cheddar cheese, and pickles, served on sweet Hawaiian rolls. It’s sure to be a favorite at your next get-together!
Pre-heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the chopped yellow onion and salt. Saute the onions for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent,
Add the minced garlic and stir into the onion. Let cook until very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Brown the beef, stirring occasionally until no pink is left in the beef, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef has browned, add in the worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and sugar. Stir to coat the beef with the ketchup, sugar, and worcestershire and let cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Set aside while you prepare the remaining sandwich ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
Cut the sweet Hawaiian rolls in half and arrange on a large baking tray, cut side up.
Add two quarter-pieces of cheddar cheese onto the bottom pieces of bread.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top pieces of bread.
Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the top pieces are slightly toasted. Remove from the oven and assemble the sandwich.
Spoon the loose meat sandwich filling onto the bottom slices of each roll.
Arrange one or two pickle chips onto each sandwich and add a top slice of bread to each roll.
Serve right away, with silverware to catch any lost pieces of sandwich meat, and enjoy!
