Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add baked meatballs to the sauce and stir gently to coat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Place meatballs with sauce on the bottom half of the bread. Top with sliced Provel cheese and additional parmesan if desired. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully remove from oven, slice into portions, and serve hot.
