Meatball Sandwiches... Nom Nom Nom!


Easy Meatball Sandwich Recipe
makes around 27 meatballs, which is enough for 9 sandwiches

For the meatballs:                         For the sauce:                                       For the sandwich:
- 3lb ground turkey                       - at least 26oz pasta sauce                - Hoagie buns
- 1 small onion                                - 3tsps of ground cumin                     - Mozzarella cheese
- 2 bell peppers                              - 1tsp of salt                                            - Sour cream
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs                                                                                   - Cilantro
- 3 eggs



 Chop up your onion and bell peppers (to give mine more flavor I soaked them over night with minced garlic and balsamic vinegar). Add all of the meatball ingredients into a large bowel, mix, and form your meatballs into whatever size you please; mine were probably about 2 inches in diameter. Caution: the best mixing and forming is done with your hands, but they can get REALLY COLD while doing this. Bake @ 350F for 30-45 minutes.   




 Pick your favorite pasta sauce... in my case, my favorite = the cheapest one I could find. Use a crock pot or large normal pot to mix all the sauce ingredients in because the meatballs will join it after they bake.  Also, the NEHI bottle full of olive oil is not part of the recipe, it just wanted to sneak into the picture.



 After the meatballs are done, I usually sacrifice one to ensure they are cooked all the way through. Then drop the rest of them off at the sauce swimming pool.

Toast your hoagie, load up three meatballs, add some cheese/sour cream/cilantro, and get ready to enjoy a delicious sandwich!
