Italian Meatball Subs
Okay, this isn't really a healthy habit, but it means I cooked dinner and we didn't eat out, so I'm going to count it as a win. Plus it was really good. I was going to use a french bread roll recipe instead of store bought hoagies, but I didn't put enough yeast in and ended up not making enough (my problem, not the recipes). I don't have the roll recipe typed up yet but here is the rest:
First preheat the oven to 400.
Meatballs:
1 C unseasoned bread crumbs
3/4 C shredded parmesan or mozzarella cheese
1/2 C milk
1/2 C low-sodium beef broth
3 Tbspn dried parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 Tbspn oregano
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 lbs ground beef
Sauce:
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
For Sandwiches:
Sliced Mozzarella
Hogie Rolls (or French Bread rolls)
• In a large bowl, mix all of the meatball ingredients together EXCEPT the meat. Let the mixture sit for
10-15 minutes (to soak up liquid)
• Add the meat and mix well with your hands
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil.
• Form golf ball-sized meatballs and dredge them in a 1/2 C of flour until lightly coated. Place the
meatballs on the baking sheet about one inch apart.
• Bake for 20-25 min until the meatballs are completely cooked through
• Combine Sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer. Simmer for 10-15
minutes on low. Keep warm until meatballs are finished baking
• When the meatballs come out of the oven let them sit for about 15 minutes. Gently scrape off any fat
and place the meatballs in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Pour hot tomato sauce over the meatballs
• Slice hoagie rolls in half, and put sliced mozzarella on them. Put them in the oven for 4-5 minutes at
400 until the buns are toasted and the cheese is melted. Place 3-4 meatballs on each bun and top with
the desired amount of sauce.
Freeze unbaked on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, they can be placed in a Ziploc. Bake them without thawing adding 6-7 minutes to baking time
If baked before frozen, put them in the simmering sauce until they are warmed through
They were really yummy, and very easy to make.
