Preparation
- In a big pot over medium heat, heat a good drizzle of olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without browning them. Stir often.
- Add the meat and break it into small chunks. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, then add the mustard, ketchup and both cans of soup, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well.
- Lower the heat slightly and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mix has thickened well. Remove from heat.
- Warm the rolls lightly in the oven, the air fryer or the microwave, then stuff them with the meat! Serve with a salad of your choice and eat like there is no tomorrow.
