MEATBALL SUB SANDWICH

Meatball subs in soggy, falling-apart buns are just the worst. That's why we recommend toasting our Tailgaters Brat Buns for this recipe. The heftier, toasty bread will stand up to all that meaty, marinara, mozzarella goodness.

A handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
One 14-ounce can chunky style crushed tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 semolina crusty sub rolls, with or without sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl and punch a well into the center of meat. Fill well with the egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire, parsley, cheese, and a little salt and pepper. Mix up meatball ingredients until well combined, yet not over-mixed. Divide mix into 4 equal parts, roll each part into 4 balls and space equally onto a nonstick baking sheet. Place meatballs in oven and roast about 12 minutes. Break a meatball open and make sure meat is cooked through before removing from the oven.
  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. When garlic starts sizzling, add herbs and crushed pepper. Allow oil to infuse for half a minute, then stir in the tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are removed from oven.
  • Combine meatballs and sauce and pile into sub rolls, 4 meatballs per sub. Top with shredded cheese and place under subs under broiler to melt cheese. Top with shredded basil or arugula and serve with a pile of Oven Fries.
  • Drizzle potatoes with a generous pour of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss potatoes with seasoning blend or coarse salt and pepper. Place potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet and roast 20 minutes or until just tender. Give the baking sheet a good shake after 10 minutes to avoid sticking.

Provided by breezermom

Categories     Meatballs

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right meatballs: Use a combination of ground beef and pork for the best flavor and texture. You can also add in some bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs for extra flavor.
  • Cook the meatballs properly: Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through before assembling the sandwiches. You can cook them in a skillet, in the oven, or in a slow cooker.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread is an important part of the sandwich, so make sure you use a good quality bread that will hold up to the meatballs and sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what really makes the meatball sub sandwich. Use a flavorful sauce that is made with fresh ingredients.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to your meatball sub sandwich. Some popular choices include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and peppers.

Conclusion:
