Tasty meatball sandwiches include ground beef, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasonings, and a little hot pepper.

Cook Time: 6 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or dried oregano
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large can (16 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red wine
  • 6 to 8 sandwich rolls, split and warmed
  • mozzarella cheese

Preparation:

In mixing bowl, beat egg with salt, Italian herbs, ground red pepper and garlic powder. Add chopped onion, lean ground beef, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; mix well. Shape the beef mixture into 1-inch balls; brown in a large nonstick skillet, turning frequently. Drain meatballs and transfer to a 5- to 6-quart crockpot. Combine tomato sauce and red wine; pour over meatballs. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours. To serve, place 3 to 4 meatballs in a split roll then top with some sauce from the crockpot. If desired, top with sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese and heat under the broiler just until cheese is melted.
Serves 6 to 8.

"I was hoping to get a meatball sandwich like you might get in a restaurant and this recipe was pretty close. I think next time I will use jarred spaghetti sauce instead of plain tomato sauce - the meatballs themselves were very tastey, but the sauce needed some zip. I think I will make these again because I really love meatball sandwiches, but they were a little bit labor intensive. I had to use two skillets at once because my largest skillet wasn't big enough to fit all the meatballs."
