Parmesan Meatball Sandwiches Food

MEATBALL PARMIGIANA SLIDERS

Steps:

• Make the meatballs: Soak bread in milk for 5 minutes. Gently mix bread and milk with meats, Pecorino Romano, parsley, garlic, egg, and 1 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Roll mixture into twenty-four 1-ounce balls (each about the size of a golf ball).
• Heat sauce in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Drop meatballs into sauce, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, partially covered, until meatballs are cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Make the sandwiches: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Working in batches, arrange rolls, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Place 1 meatball, a spoonful of sauce, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, and 1 teaspoon Pecorino Romano on bottom halves. Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Sandwich with basil.

MEATBALL PARMESAN SUB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the meatballs in half and place in the oven. Bake until the meatballs are warmed, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut the roll horizontally (careful not to cut all the way through.) Place the warmed meatballs on one side of the roll. Spread the sauce evenly over the meatballs and the other side of the roll. Spread the mozzarella over the meatballs. Spread the Parmesan over the other side of the roll. Sprinkle the oregano over the entire roll. Place the sub in the oven and bake until the cheeses are melted and the edges of the roll are browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

MEATBALL SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
• 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.
• While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. 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!

ITALIAN PARMESAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Grate the bread on the large holes of a box grater into coarse crumbs and put into a large bowl along with the milk and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the milk. Add the meatloaf mix, Parmesan, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and mix until just combined. Shape the meat mixture into 18 meatballs. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Bring the marinara sauce to a very light simmer in a large Dutch oven or large wide pot. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add half the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to the marinara sauce as they are browned. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, gently stirring occasionally until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve over hot pasta.

MEATBALL PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Remove crusts from bread slices and discard. Tear remaining bread into small pieces and place in a small bowl. Pour milk over bread and let stand until liquid is almost absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine pork or veal, beef, soaked bread, onion, 1/4 cup Parmesan, the parsley, the garlic, the salt and the pepper until just combined. Form meat into golf-ball-size rounds. (You should have about 25 meatballs.) Meatballs can be formed up to 24 hours ahead, covered and refrigerated before frying.
• Fill a large skillet with 1/4-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer fried meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Scatter half the meatballs over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half of the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
• Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

MEATBALL SUBS

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high with a rack no more than 6 inches from the heat source. (See Tip if you don't have a broiler.) Using a fork, scrape out some of the interior of the rolls until you get about 1 cup bread crumbs. Add them to a large bowl along with 1/2 cup water, the egg, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Finely grate 1 garlic clove into the mixture, then stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Lightly grease a large (12-inch), oven-proof skillet with olive oil. To the bread crumbs, add the beef, Parmesan and chopped basil. Stir with your hands until combined, avoiding overmixing. Roll into 12 balls (about 2 heaping tablespoons/2 ounces each) and place them in the prepared skillet as you go. Broil the meatballs until browned and nearly cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Move the skillet to the stovetop. Add the marinara sauce, stir to coat the meatballs, and warm over medium-low heat while you toast the rolls: Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cut-side up, and broil until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Rub the cut sides of the roll with the second garlic clove.
• Divide the meatballs and sauce among the rolls, then top with mozzarella. Broil until the mozzarella is melted and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with more grated Parmesan, basil leaves and black pepper.
