- Large skillet

Ingredients
Special Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish
- 1 garlic clove minced or grated
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- Few dashes of hot sauce
- Few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
Cheeseburger Sub
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 garlic cloves minced or grated
- 4 6-inch sub rolls
- 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Additional desired toppings optional
Instructions
- To make the special sauce, add the mayonnaise to a small bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can do this up to a week in advance.
- To make the cheeseburger subs, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Once the oil warms, add the ground beef and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Cook the beef, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat during the cooking process. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, constantly stirring. Turn off the heat and drain the beef.
- Divide the beef among four sub rolls. Top each with ¼ cup shredded cheddar. Place in the broiler until the cheese melts. This should only take about a minute, so keep a close eye to make sure the bread doesn't burn. Remove from the broiler and dress with special sauce and desired toppings. Lightly brush the sub rolls with melted butter. Enjoy!
