Cook until browned.
Break into small pieces.
Add:
- salt
- pepper

Cook 2–3 minutes more.
Beef should be juicy, not dry.
Set aside.
Step 2 – Prepare the Rolls
Slice rolls horizontally (like one big sandwich).
Keep them attached.
Place bottom half in baking dish.
This makes layering super easy.
Step 3 – Layer the Good Stuff

Double cheese makes it EXTRA gooey 😍
Press gently.

Brush generously over tops.
This gives:

Step 5 – Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cover with foil.
Bake 12–15 minutes (melts cheese).
Remove foil.
Bake 5–8 more minutes until:
✔ tops golden brown
✔ cheese bubbling
✔ edges crispy
Smells insane at this point.
