What you need:

12oz lean ground beef
1 8oz can tomato sauce

1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Hot dog buns




Put the ground beef in the skillet and break up into pieces.



Turn the burner on medium high heat and cook until the meat is completely browned. Have a grown up helper drain the grease from the meat and return the skillet to the burner. Add the tomato sauce to the meat.



Add the onion, oregano, and basil to the meat, and mix everything together.





Reduce heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow to cook for 15 minutes. Spoon the mixture onto the hotdog buns, top with cheese, and serve.
