Meatballs

Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Pork Gravy Preparation

  1. 4

    Make Roux

    In a saucepan, heat pork drippings over medium heat. Add flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.

  2. 5

    Add Broth

    Slowly whisk in chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 6

    Season Gravy

    Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until it thickens.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare Sub Rolls

    Slice each sub roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

  2. 8

    Assemble Sandwich

    Place 3-4 meatballs in each roll, top with gravy, and layer with sharp provolone cheese.

  3. 9

    Add Onions

    Top with chopped spicy onions. Close the rolls and serve warm.
