Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1/2 pound ground sirloin
  • 1/2 pound 50%-less-fat breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups lower-sodium pasta sauce
  • 2 top-split white-wheat hot dog buns
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)

Directions

  1. 1
    Place mushrooms in a food processor, and pulse until finely ground. Reserve.
  2. 2
    Heat canola oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sirloin and sausage. Cook until golden brown, breaking up meat with a spoon, about 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add onion to pan and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
  3. 3
    Preheat broiler.
  4. 4
    Add mushrooms and red pepper, if desired, to the pan, and mix well. Cook until mushrooms are darker in color, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add pasta sauce; stir to blend. Return cooked sirloin mixture to pan; bring sauce to a simmer and cook 2 minutes.
  5. 5
    Divide mixture among buns and top with mozzarella cheese. Broil in oven or toaster oven until cheese melts. Serve warm.
