    Can we get a recipe here for the meatballs and sauce??

    Can't speak for OP, but I combine Progresso Italian bread crumbs with Publix market ground beef (about a 5:2 ratio, beef to crumbs), plus one large egg, all in a mixing bowl. Cook 'em in a skillet on the stove top with a bit of olive oil. Brown both sides then cover and reduce heat. Add marinara and let it all simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    I have two teenage boys who claim they're the greatest meatballs in the world, and they don't hand out a lot of compliments.

    @AnotherDawg can I ask what size you do for your meatballs?

    I'd say large but nothing crazy, maybe the size of a medium egg. Pound of beef, mixed with the crumbs, should make about a dozen meatballs?

    I serve 3-4 meatballs with marinara on a pile of pasta (I prefer linguine or fettuccini). If I were making a meatball sub I might cut them in half.

    I agree with OP on provolone as the best cheese option, and I'd buy fresh sub rolls from the grocery's baker. (Publix is the best option where I am, but I know that varies depending on where you live.)

    So, you've discussed cars for at least one of them, have you?

    Excellent ratios for all ingredients! I'd favor a longer cook, a little bit of brown on the bread and the cheese. Whoever can find the perfect spot between yours and JRT's wins the prize.

    As my honors geology professor at UGA told me when I turned in a paper late, "This is excellent! In fact, I'm going to give you an E for effort."

    Trump would take less flack serving your meatball subs than the s h I t storm he received for serving fast food. Maybe next time you can help the Prez out. Hope they taste as good as they look.

    Got to say the wife did me right. I asked for something different than the weekly usual. She made meatballs from scratch and used her family recipe for sauce. I over cooked the buns because I got caught up with the kids in her absence, but was still really good.

    @JRT812 DANG BRO!!! That’s enough to make ANYONE HUNGRY!!! That looks EVEN BETTER than a high end restaurant quality!! Lucky you!! :smile:

    I saw the title of the thread and thought for sure this was about Tate Martell.
