For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a little olive oil until softened before adding it to the meat mixture. If you don't have hoagie rolls, you can use other types of bread, such as ciabatta or French rolls. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture for a subtle kick. Fresh basil or oregano sprinkled over the finished sandwiches adds a delightful aroma and flavor.
