Hot Meatballs on a Crusty Bun




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 egg lightly beaten
3 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
1 tsp. each basil and salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
Generous grinding black pepper
1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
1 cup homemade or store-bought meatless spaghetti sauce with mushrooms
4 slices mozzarella (optional)
4 crusty Italian buns, split in half



Recipe



In a medium-sized bowl combine meat, egg, onion, parsley, basil, salt, oregano and pepper. Form meat into 1 1/2 inch balls; set aside on waxed paper. Heat oil in a large wide saucepan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add meatballs in a single layer. Brown on all sides, turning gently. Do not overcrowd pan. Remove from pan and drain all the fat from pan. Return meatballs to pan and add spaghetti sauce. Gently stir meatballs so they are entirely covered in sauce. Simmer about 10 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. This can be prepared a day in advance. Place a slice of mozzarella, if using, on the bottom half of each bun. Then spoon about 5 meatballs and some sauce over cheese. Top with rest of bun.
