Meatball Sandwich
"Meatballs in tomato sauce with melted cheese on a lightly toasted baguette."
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 French baguette
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt, or to taste
1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
4 slices provolone cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt. Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted.
While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Cool slightly, cut into servings, and enjoy!

Answer 2

Sorry I know you said beef but next time you should try this chicken one!

One of my fav dishes to cook is below! Have it! (and I dont cook too often- Im still a novice ) Buy a pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts (purdue are the best) 2 red bell peppers, 2 green bell peppers, a little box of those precut mushrooms or subsitute veggies as you wish. I find this combo tastes the best. Cook the breasts in the skillet in olive oil until almost done, then add the veggies. Let cook for another 5-10 minutes...sprinkle the chicken with shredded cheese. Voila!! :) Then get a bag of Vigo rice (the best ever!) and you have yourself a easy, healthy meal!

2 onions, finely chopped (3 cups)

3 carrots, finely chopped (1 cup)

6 garlic cloves, minced

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground pork

1/4 cup tomato paste

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 cup dry white wine

1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes in purée

1 cup milk

12 ounces spaghetti

Finely grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

1. Make sauce: In a Dutch oven (or 5-quart saucepan), heat oil over high heat. Add onions, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add beef and pork; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Add wine and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a simmer; cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 hour. Add milk; simmer until completely absorbed, about 15 minutes more. Season again with salt and pepper.

3. When sauce is almost done, cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions; drain. Toss pasta with half the meat sauce; save remaining sauce for next day. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
