Ingredients
meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1/3 cup Romano cheese
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 diced tomatoes 14-ounce can
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
sandwiches
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, for spreading
- 4 lices whole grain bread or your favorite bread, seedy
- 4 ounces fontina cheese freshly grated
- 2 ounces provolone cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- To make the meatballs, combine the beef, cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, basil, parsley, pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix!) and them form meatballs that are a little less than 1-inch in diameter. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides (don’t worry about them being cooked through yet), about 5 minutes total.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the diced tomatoes, butter, another pinch of salt and pepper and stir. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. Now, do what you want with your meatballs! Like make grilled cheese.
- To make the grilled cheese, spread the outsides of the bread with a 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add some grated fontina to the bottom slice of bread, cover it with a few meatballs (I sliced mine in half), add a bit more fontina and another bread slice. Cook the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and toasty. Serve immediately!
