1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can pizza sauce(15 oz.)
1/4 cup ripe olives
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
8 hoagie or submarine buns
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

In skillet, cook beef & onion till no longer pink; drain. Stir in pizza sauce, olives, basil & oregano. Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through.
Cut 1/4 in. off the top of each roll; set aside. Carefully hollow out bottom of roll, leaving 1/4 in. shell(discard removed bread or save for another use). Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. cheese inside each shell. Fill each with about 1/2 cup meat mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, gently pressing down to flatten. Replace bread tops.
Individually wrap four sandwiches tightly in foil; freeze for up to 3 months. Place remaining sandwiches on baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until heated through.

TO USE FROZEN HOAGIES: Place foil wrapped sandwiches on baking sheet. Bake 375 for 60-70 minutes, or till heated through.
