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

  • 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.

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!

SMASHED MEATBALL SANDWICHES



Smashed Meatball Sandwiches image

The secret to this sandwich is the blend of spicy Italian sausage and ground beef in the meatballs. They are simmered in jarred sauce before they are layered with mozzarella, basil, and more sauce. This is a hearty way to head to any picnic.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces ground beef
12 ounces hot Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 cup panko
1 large egg
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
One 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
Four 8-inch hoagie rolls
4 slices mozzarella
1 cup fresh basil leaves (large leaves work best for this)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the beef, sausage, and panko. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and salt and add to the meat. Use clean hands or a fork to mix the ingredients until evenly combined, being careful not to over-mix. Form the mixture into 8 meatballs.
  • Add the marinara sauce to a straight-sided skillet and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. When the sauce is simmering, gently nestle in the meatballs. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the meatballs halfway through.
  • Slice each hoagie roll through the center, but do not slice all the way through. This will help keep everything in the sandwich. Working one at a time, tear a slice of cheese in half and place the halves on the base of the roll. Place a few basil leaves on the top half of the roll. Transfer 2 meatballs on top of the cheese and use a fork to smash the meatballs, exposing the meat in the center and spreading it to cover the base of the roll. Spoon a few tablespoons of extra sauce onto the meat. Close the sandwich and transfer it to a square of parchment paper. Tightly wrap the sandwich with parchment paper. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the meatballs will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and use fresh bread and vegetables.
  • Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of spices and herbs to the meatballs. This will give them a lot of flavor.
  • Cook the meatballs slowly and evenly: Overcooked meatballs are tough and dry. Cook them over medium heat until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is an important part of the sandwich. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and not too sweet.
  • Toast the bread: Toasted bread will help to hold the sandwich together and give it a nice crunch.
  • Add your favorite toppings: You can add any toppings you like to your meatball sandwich. Some popular choices include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Meatball sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or a hearty and satisfying dinner, a meatball sandwich is a great option.
