For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a little olive oil until softened before adding it to the meat mixture.

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.
