FOR THE SAUCE
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 white onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 15 ounce whole peeled tomatoes canned
- 1 15 ounce tomato sauce canned
- 2 tablespoons red chile habanero hot sauce or more to taste, El Yucateco® brand
- 2 tablespoons basil dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
FOR THE MEATBALLS
- 1 onion minced, small, white
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 pounds ground beef or a bit more for larger meatballs
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ cup panko
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 3 tablespoons basil dried
- 2-3 tablespoons red chile habanero hot sauce El Yucateco® brand
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
FOR SERVING
- French roll extra grated Parmesan cheese and more El Yucateco® Red Chile Habanero Hot Sauce, or hoagie roll
Instructions
- Get your sauce going first by heating a sauce pan to medium and adding olive oil. Add the onion and cook about 4 minutes to soften, then add garlic and stir. Cook another minute until you can smell the garlic. Mmmm.
- Add whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, El Yucateco® Red Chile Habanero Hot Sauce, basil, and salt and pepper to your preference. Stir it up!
- Bring the whole thing to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer at least 30 minutes. An hour is better to let the flavors mingle.
- Next, get your meatballs going by adding the minced onion, minced garlic, ground beef, egg, panko, Parmesan cheese, dried basil and El Yucateco® Red Chile Habanero Hot Sauce to a large mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Hand mix the seasoned meat, but do not overmix, or the meatballs can become mealy. Form them into 18 meatballs.
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add olive oil. Add meatballs and cook a couple minutes per side to brown them up. Pour the red sauce over them and let the whole thing simmer about 20-30 minutes to cook through.
- Serve the meatballs onto hoagie or sub rolls. Top with extra Parmesan cheese and habanero hot sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Makes 6 meatballs subs, so scale up accordingly!
