Ingredients
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 c. chopped orange bell pepper
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano
1/2 c. chili sauce

Directions:

1. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef, onion and bell pepper; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-in. crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove drippings. Stir in tomato sauce, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook an additional 3 minutes or until heated through; stirring occasionally.

2. Spoon equal amounts of beef mixture on bottom half of each roll. Decorate beef mixture or roll tops with vegetable decorations, as desired (see Cook's Notes). Close with top half of each roll.

* Cook's Notes: These ghoulish sandwiches suggest several ideas for garnishes like black olive spiders and green onion broomsticks.
