June 2012 Entry #3 Meatball Hoagie

[barkonbutts]

First thanks to all of the others who submitted entries!! These type of things are fun to do and that is what makes this a great place. So here is to you

So when I saw the topic of comfort food a nice Meatball Hoagie came to mind.

So I made up some nice meatballs.

basic recipe I use is as follows:

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
3/4 lb ground pork (80/20)
1/2 lb ground veil
2 eggs
1.5 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 parm cheese
GARLIC about 4-7 cloves depending on size
salt and pepper

Here they are all balled up.



Tossed them on the smoker at 245* till they reached 165* IT.

Here are the meatballs off of the smoker.



I then took some homemade tomato sauce (fresh puree, garlic, basil, salt and pepper) and put the meatballs in for about 10 minutes.

Then got a fresh Hoagie roll (the in-laws just came in from Philly with fresh rolls) and sliced open and sliced the meatball in half and placed on roll withe fresh Moz. and under the broiler it went for a few min to melt the cheese.

Served with classic chips.



A cut shot:



Thanks for viewing and to all those who tossed votes my way!!

Good looking sandwich, Brian. I usually slop mine up with so much marinara sauce that I can hardly hold on to it.

Damn Skippy! I'd want an extra bowl of marinara and some peperociinis...and maybe some more chips...OH, and a beer, definitely a beer...and maybe another sandwich while you are at it. And then a nap.

Just hit the carnita tacos with some so I'll have to owe ya on this totally worthy creation.

[Fire it up]

I would LOVE one of those right now, how can you not love a good meatball hoagie???

And for the roll, a really good chewy fresh roll can make all the difference between an OK hoagie and one kick ass sandwich
