Time 2h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup soft french breadcrumbs (see instructions about where to get these!)
1/2 cup milk
1 lb mild pork sausage
1 lb ground beef, lean
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon basil, dried whole
1/4 teaspoon oregano, dried whole
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (14 ounce) cans Italian-style tomatoes, undrained and chopped
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3/4 cup Burgundy wine
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons basil, dried whole
1/4 teaspoon oregano, dried whole
48 inches french bread rolls (Should read 8 6-inch French bread rolls, not 48 inches!)
8 slices mozzarella cheese or 8 slices provolone cheese
softened butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Slice the french rolls in half. On one side of each roll, scrape out a hollow trough for the meatballs to nestle inches With the bread you scrape out, save 1 cup of the breadcrumbs for the meatballs. Place the buns back in a plastic bag and set aside.
  • For the meatballs:.
  • Take the 1 cup of breadcrumbs from the rolls and combine it with the milk in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the sausage and the next 8 ingredients; mix well.
  • Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place the meatballs in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned. Set aside.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • Saute the green peppers, chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic in oil in a large saucepan until the vegetables are tender. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, water, sugar, 1 1/2 tsp basil, and 1/4 tsp oregano; stir well.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the reserved meatballs; cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  • To assemble the sandwiches:.
  • Take the French rolls out of the bag and brush lightly with the softened butter. Place cheese on the flat side of the bread (not the one you hollowed out for the meatballs). I cut my cheese slices in half so that they fit nicely on the bread and cover all the bread.
  • Broil 6 inches from the heat until lightly toasted and the cheese is melted and gooey -- watch carefully so the cheese doesn't burn.
  • Spoon meatball mixture onto the hollowed out side of the buns, and top with the cheese covered side of the bun. Enjoy!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
¾ cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 French baguette
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt, or to taste
1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
4 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt. Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted.
  • While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Cool slightly, cut into servings, and enjoy!

Yield 2 subs, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 -2 cup pizza sauce (recommended 2bleu's 2 Minute 2 Easy Pizza Sauce)
2 italian hoagie rolls (6-inch rolls)
2 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced (or shredded)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Place one rack in center of oven, the other on the top shelf for broiling. Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Bake sausage on the center rack for 20-25 minutes till cooked thru, turning once.
  • Meanwhile, using a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add peppers and onions, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until peppers are just soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Add pizza sauce and continue to simmer until sausages are cooked thru.
  • Create aluminum foil 'boats' around each opened sub roll and place on a baking sheet (keeping them intact and also in a boat shape to hold in the filling). Remove sausages from oven, and place the 'boats' into the oven to lightly toast (watch for burning!).
  • Place the links on a cutting board and using tongs (the sausage will be hot), steady the links and cut into 1/2" slices (or you can slice lengthwise) and add to the pot of sauce, stirring to coat.
  • When buns are toasted, remove from oven keeping the buns on the baking sheet, place the sausage mixture (reserving about 2 tbsp sauce only) on the bottom half of the bread. Top sausage mixture with provolone. To the top half, spread thinly the remaining sauce and then sprinkle generously with the mozerella cheese.
  • Return subs to top rack of oven and broil for 1-2 minutes till cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Using the foil boats to keep the sandwich together. Just pull down from one side and dive in!

  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides: Apple sausage meatballs can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
