Meatball Sandwich

I hadn’t seen Mama in two weeks and somehow my cravings reached her without me saying a word 😅❤️ The only thing on my mind? Her meatball sandwich 🥖🤌

The second I walked in, she was already on it. grocery run, bags full, game plan set. Then she looks at me and says, “Put your bags down and sit.”
And honestly? I happily obliged 😂

Nothing hits like Mama’s cooking, especially when it’s made with love, urgency, and a little impatience to feed her (favorite😉) kid ❤️

Ingredients
• Ground beef – 2 lb
• Bread crumbs – 1 cup
• Eggs – 4
• Fresh parsley – 3 sprigs, finely chopped
• Garlic – 1 clove, minced
• Milk – ¼ cup
• Salt & pepper – to taste
• Neutral oil – 1 cup
• Marinara sauce – 10 oz crushed or puréed tomatoes
• Tomato paste – 4 oz
• Provolone cheese – ¼ lb, shredded
• Baguette – 1 loaf

Method
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, garlic, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix just until incorporated to keep the meatballs tender.

Form the mixture into 3–4 oz meatballs. Heat oil to 325–350°F and fry the meatballs until golden brown. They will finish cooking in the sauce.

Transfer the meatballs to the marinara sauce with tomato paste and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until fully cooked and flavorful.

Cut the baguette into portions, slice in half, and toast cut-side down in a hot pan with olive oil.

Assemble by placing 3–4 meatballs on the bottom half of the baguette, topping with shredded provolone and a spoonful of sauce. Close with the top half, slice, and serve.
