I've always wondered about it and your coring it out and adding "stuff" to the middle solves the problem. Shoot, now I'm thinking core out extra big and add bacon, sausage slices, peppers, cheese and on an on. Start out by getting it hot and then start adding things. Wrap 3 hours in and add some...hot sauce....broth...aujou... or maybe something else (V8?) to steam it with!
