- Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously over the bottom buns.
- Cover with the top halves of the buns and brush lightly with melted butter if desired.

Notes
Consider using lean ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. Avoid overcooking the beef to maintain its juiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container; they can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
