Meatball Sandwiches

This first part is a basic Meatball, it can be used with a red sauce for sandwiches like I did, or Spaghetti and Meatballs, or I have put them in a brown gravy which can be served over noodles. Or you could do a Swedish Meatball sauce.

In the bowl I put a pound of ground beef, 1 egg, some panko bread crumbs, not sure how much, maybe somewhere between 1/2 cup to a cup, and garlic powder.
Roll the meatballs approxiamately the size of a ping pong ball, place on a baking sheet, bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees.

In this pan I put 2) 8 oz cans of tomato sauce, garlic powder & Italian seasoning to taste. (I put a lot of garlic). My girls will use this sauce over pasta, without anything else in it. After the meatballs have cooked I put them into the pan with the sauce and simmer for 15 minutes or so, could be however long you like. I tried to take a picture with the meatballs in it, but the steam kept fogging it up.


Put the meatballs and some of the sauce on a sandwich roll, then parmesan and provolone cheese, then I toasted it a little in the oven. My youngest likes onions on her sandwich.
Hope you try it, and enjoy it as much as we did.
