Yeah, I can't do those long thread titles. :lol:

Nothing special here...just some meatball subs I made for lunch on Sunday while smoking ribs for dinner. I have not cooked inside since April or May so I decided to be consistent and grill these out back. :thumb:

Took a pound of ground beef and added one egg, 1/2 chopped onion, 1/2 cup water, salt, CBP, and 1/2 pack of Stove Top cornbread stuffing.

Mixed it all together and formed the meatballs. Large balls on the right for the subs, small balls on the left for spaghetti later this week. :lol:

Fired up the gas side of our grill/smoker. Getting some grill marks on them.

When almost done I put them in a pan with marinara sauce and let them finish cooking on the grill. This is a Coleman camping skillet. I LOVE it and it works great on the grill!

I use a French bread loaf bought from the bakery at Kroger's. It's pretty good bread for store bought. After cutting to size and slicing open, I sorta hollow out the inside by tearing out some of the bread. It gives you a good place to put the meatballs without worrying that they are going to roll out. :lol: Then I build the sub by putting a little sauce and shredded cheese on the bottom, add the meatballs and then more sauce and cheese.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a0ce25b3127ccefb1d9c2f798800000030O08Abt2bRu0csw e3nwk/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/

These went back on the grill with the lid down to heat the bread and crisp it up a little. About 5 - 10 minutes later we had lunch :thumb:

This was the first time I had used this meatball recipe using the Stove Top. The sage in the Stove Top kinda gave the meatball a sausage flavor. It was good but I don't think I'll use the Stove Top in them again and go back to bread crumbs and my secret ingredients :thumb:

Thanks for looking :wave:

Excellent Becky. Love meatball sammies. Thanks for the "anti-roll" idea. Honestly, never thought about it. Just wore a bib. Lol. I've smoked meatballs, but don't think I've done them on the grill.

I'm with ya on the cooking outside. Had to bring the majority of it back inside now. It's that time of year. But I'm a diehard. Unless the grill is under 3 ft of snow, I'll still grill a steak in the winter. Hehe.

Well, we actually don't have a kitchen, but we are hoping to get the kitchen done VERY soon. :thumb:

Hmmm....:confused: never heard using grape jelly, Lee. I have used cranberry sauce in a sauce for meatballs going in the crock pot before. I usually use plain bread crumbs and lots of Montreal SPICY Steak Seasoning. I'm going to have do some research on the grape jelly now. :thumb:
