Meatball on Mini Ciabatta
I guess you could call this a meatball slider. But, I’d rather not.
Whatever you call it, I’m sure you’ll love it.
Meatballs For Sub, Sandwich, Hero Or Slider
makes 1 pot full of meatballs (10-12)
2lb good quality lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork, if desired
1 3x3inch square cornbread, ground to fine crumbs
1/2 teaspoon basil, powdered
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, finely ground
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 clove garlic, crushed to a paste
1 Tablespoon sun dried tomato paste
1 jumbo egg
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
meatball sub sauce
Combine all ingredients. Blend well. Form meat into balls slightly bigger than a golf ball. Place gently into a pot of simmering sauce. Be careful to space the balls evenly around the pot. Cover and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes. Stir VERY gently at about the 15 minute mark to keep your sauce from sticking.
**OR**
Or, you could pan fry meatballs in skillet lightly coated with olive oil. Brown exteriors. Then, place in sauce and simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes. Or, until meatballs are cooked through, but tender.
