5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the beef and cheese mixture onto toasted buns and serve immediately.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm the meat mixture in a skillet over medium heat, adding a little broth if needed to keep it moist.
