Ingredients
– 6 round rolls (5-6 inches), such as white kaiser rolls
– 4 ounces spaghetti noodles
– 24 ounces spaghetti sauce
– 1 pound ground beef
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
– 1 cup (2 sticks or 227 grams) melted butter for garlic butter
– 2 tablespoons minced garlic for garlic butter
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt for garlic butter
– 1 tablespoon minced parsley for garlic butter
Instructions
1-First Steps: Preheat the oven to 350Β°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to avoid any mess. Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until itβs no longer pink, which takes about 5-7 minutes for that savory base.
2-Building the Sauce and Noodles: Add 24 ounces of spaghetti sauce to the browned beef, along with salt and pepper to taste, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Toss in the 4 ounces of cooked spaghetti noodles and stir to coat them evenly; keep this mixture warm and covered while you move on.
3-Creating the Garlic Butter: Mix together 1 cup of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon of minced parsley to make your garlic butter itβs the secret to that irresistible aroma.

4-Assembling the Bowls: Cut the tops off the 6 round rolls, hollowing out the centers without going through the base for sturdy bowls. Brush the inside and outside of each roll with 2-3 tablespoons of the garlic butter, then add 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella inside each one. Fill with about Β½ cup of the spaghetti mixture and top with another tablespoon of mozzarella for that gooey finish.
5-Baking and Serving: Bake the assembled bowls for 7-10 minutes until theyβre golden brown and the cheese has melted perfectly. Garnish with parsley and serve right away for the best taste and texture. This method, with a prep time of 30 minutes and cook time of 10 minutes, keeps things efficient for all skill levels.
