Franks Italian Meatball Subs image

I just made these last night and it was raining out here at the beach and this meatball sub hit the spot with some chips on the side with a cool beverage. Really good homemade flavor and you can adjust your seasoning to your liking and these would be great with spaghetti or whatever you want. I do not like the frozen kind in bag...

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb ground sirloin
1 lb ground white chicken (bulk)
1/2 c bread crumbs ( i make my own)
1/2 c milk or canned milk
olive oil / butter for sauté
1 small onion (chopped)
1/3 c fresh grated parmesan cheese
24 oz jar of your choice marinara sauce
1 Tbsp tomato paste (6 oz. can) keep the rest for your sauce
2 stalk(s) celery (chopped)
5 fresh mushrooms (diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 large egg (beaten)
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp marjoram
1 tsp salt and pepper
1 tsp cayenne or more if you like it hot
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
buns / provolone cheese or mozzarella

Steps:

  • 1. Put breadcrumbs and milk in small bowl and set aside to let the milk absorb
  • 2. In a medium size skillet add your oil and butter let it melt then add all vegetables and all seasoning. Sauté till limp once soft add Worcestershire sauce. Then let it cool
  • 3. In large bowl put both meats, grated fresh parmesan cheese, beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs and last the vegetables
  • 4. Now gently fold all together to incorporate I use a large cookie scoop to measure out my balls but you can use what is best for you
  • 5. Preheat oven to 350* and place balls on greased cookie sheets or a pizza pan and cook for 20 minutes then turn over and cook for another 15 minutes
  • 6. Once done I put them all in crockpot and I mix my sauce and remaining paste together and add 1 tsp of sugar in separate bowl then I pour over balls
  • 7. Cook on low for three hours. I like to toast my buns and then put provolone or Mozzarella cheese on top and broil till cheese is melted.
