Meatball Subs
Serving: Makes 6-8, 6 inch Subs
Ingredients:
Meatballs-
-1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
-1 egg, beaten
-1/2 cup finely chopped onion
-1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
-1/4 cup SHIRLEY J Pizza and Pasta Seasoning
-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-1/4 teaspoons black pepper
-1/2 teaspoon salt
15 Minute Marinara Sauce:
(If you want to save time you can use store bought pre-made Marinara Sauce like Prego. However, I strongly recommend making this sauce.)
-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
-1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-A handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, about 2 tablespoons
-1 teaspoon Shirley J Pizza and Pasta Seasoning
-1 (28 ounces) can crushed tomatoes
-1 (14 ounces) can chunky style crushed tomatoes
-Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-Bread: you need bread that is crusty so that the sandwich does not turn soggy. I like to use: French Baguettes or Ciabatta bread and cut them into 6 inch parts. You can buy the bread at your grocery store or I like to get mine at Panera Bread(Midwest) or Kneaders(Utah). You will need 2 loaves of the bread you choose to fill all of the meatballs.
-2 1/2 cups Italian 4-cheese blend
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Mix all of the meatball ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until all combined, trying not to over-mix. Roll into golf-ball size (or smaller) balls. Place them on a greased cookie sheet. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning half way through.
3. For 15 Minute Marinara Sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. When garlic starts sizzling, add seasoning 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 for 10 minutes.
4. Combine meatballs and sauce and pile into crusty rolls or bread, 4 meatballs per sub. Top with shredded cheese and place subs under broiler to melt cheese.
Enjoy!
