Mike's Smokey Beef Meatballs For Subs

If you live in New Mexico or its tri-state area - you're in luck! In every COSTCO you'll find a Kirkland Cooked Italian Beef Meatball brand in 6 pound re-sealable bags. It's a 160 count at a reasonable price.
For something prefabed - I assure you, they're the best I've ever tasted! Even better than I could make from scratch. Any sauce you choose to pair these with, they'll lend to it one seriously unique and memorable charcoal grilled flavor!
Excellent work students! Your dishes were down right delicious and adored by all!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add oil to a thick bottom pot. Chop all vegetables and add to heated pot. Sauté until vegetables are translucent. About 5 to 7 minutes.
- 2
Add your seasonings and spaghetti sauces. At simmer, cook for ten minutes longer. Stir occasionally. De-thaw your 2 pounds meatballs in the microwave.
- 3
In the meantime, butter and toast your hogies in oven at 350° for 5 minutes. Or, until browned and crispy. Add slices of Provolone Cheese to base of your warm toasted rolls. This will stop the bread from becoming soggy.
- 4
Add your meatballs and simmer 15 minutes longer uncovered. Stir occasionally. You'll want your sauce to thicken up a bit.
- 5
One of the best brands I've ever tasted!
- 6
Cheeses required. Room temperature.
- 7
Chilled pickled Pepperoncini and Jalapeño Peppers pictured.
- 8
You can also serve these meatballs and sauce over noodles coated with garlic butter [or olive oil] once noodles are drained. It's a great way to keep your noodles fresh and toothy until served.
- 9
Serve your piping hot halved meatballs with chilled sides on a separate dish. Also, with ice cold beers in frosty frozen mugs.
- 10
Toast bread with 2 slices of Provolone. Add halved meatballs and grated melted Mozzarella on top.

It's important to use a quality Marinara Sauce with these meatballs as opposed to a Spaghetti Sauce.I have a friend in Paris who constantly sends me artisanal cheeses from her area. So, we've made countless forms of these meatballs. Oddly enough - we've never had a bad one. With that, this really is a great way to get your kids to try new cheeses! MMOBRIEN -

You can make your sauce more, "homemade," if you will, by adding 2 pounds of fresh or canned tomatoes instead of the pre-fab Hunts cans listed. However, we find the Hunts Spaghetti Sauce adds much more flavor to this dish and less acidity. MMOBRIEN -

30 minutes simmer time total is all this easy recipe takes. I tell ya, whoever said fast can't be fantastic was an idiot. Pfft! Nuts to that! My 8 year old student threw this delicious concoction together in five minutes flat then, ran outside to play.Granted, for time and common sense sake, Sammy did use all of our leftover - pre-chopped vegetables from Taco Night here in the O'Brien Shire. As well as pre-fabed Italian Sausage Meatballs & Marinara Sauce. But, that didn't make her dish any less nom nom nummy! After all, I'm all about the deliciously easy. But, what busy Cook, Chef or parent isn't?!All photos and directions below were posted by Sammy herself. Great work sweet baby girl!
