Monday Menu: Meatball Subs

The meatballs and sauce can be prepared and frozen, in portions if you like, and used to make subs or serve over pasta.

A quick tip, cookie scoops make meatball production easier and quick.

This is a DOUBLE recipe that makes 8 to 10 subs, you can easily halve the ingredients or you can freeze extra meatballs and sauce for later.

Meatballs:

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef*
  • ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp crushed garlic
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp basil

Monday Menu: Yup, That’s A Lot of Garlic

I know this sounds like a crazy recipe, but the Garlic, Garlic Chicken is a keeper.  The garlic roasts to a nice, nutty, sweet flavor, perfect with a slice of bread. A neighbor was overwhelmed with garlic this fall, so gifted me with a couple of large bulbs. And whole chickens were on sale, so it seemed like a perfect time to bring this recipe out again.

I first had it at friends’ house, and I was as skeptical as you are now, but trust me, it’s as yummy as it sounds crazy.
