Ooey Gooey Meatball Submarine Sandwich Recipes

MEATBALL SANDWICH

Steps:

• Begin by gathering and prepping all of your ingredients according to the ingredients list above to have organized and ready for use.
• To a large bowl add your ground beef, plus all of the ingredients up to and including the half and half (or milk). Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients together to combine everything well, and portion out roughly 1 ounce size meatballs, rolling them between your palms (you should end up with about 21 meatballs). Chill for 30 minutes.
• While the meatballs chill, if preparing my homemade marinara sauce, then prepare that according to instructions. If using store-bought marinara sauce, then add it to medium-size sauce pan or pot, and gently heat until hot.
• Once the meatballs have chilled, place a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, work in batches to brown the meatballs, swirling/moving the pan around gently to help the meatballs keep their round shape, browning them on all sides, about 3 minutes or so. Remove and keep them in a bowl or on a plate to hold, and repeat with the rest of the meatballs. (They will not be completely cooked through at this point.)
• Once all the meatballs are browned, add them into your hot marinara sauce and allow the meatballs to very gently simmer in the sauce, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Next, turn your oven on to the "broil" setting, and prepare a large baking sheet. Place the sliced ciabatta rolls, cut-side up, onto the baking sheet and toast until golden, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from oven (leave the broiler on), and rub the garlic clove over each slice, then drizzle with a touch of olive oil.
• To assemble, spoon about 5 of the meatballs plus some of the sauce onto the bottom halves of the toasted ciabatta rolls, and top the meatballs with a slice of provolone cheese. Place back under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes just until the cheese is gooey and melted.
• Sprinkle over some of the fresh basil or parsley, and cover with the top of the ciabatta roll, pressing down a bit. Cut in half, if desired, and serve hot.
