Instructions

Heat the olive oil

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks.

Pro tip: Drain excess fat for a leaner filling.

Add vegetables

Stir in the chopped onion, garlic, and artichoke hearts, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.

Pro tip: Chop the artichokes finely for a smoother texture.

Combine sauces

Pour in the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Season the mixture

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: Adjust seasoning to your preference.

Assemble the sandwiches

Spoon the mixture onto toasted buns, sprinkle with shredded cheese if desired, and serve hot.

Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavour.
