Meatball Sandwich

OK, I haven't tasted this or tried to make it. But Bro gave it to me with the review of "...it pretty much isnt lite anything but gd its so fn good."

Seeing as my brother has loved meatball sandwiches all my life, so I'm sure he has had bad, good and great ones, I'll take his word for it.

Perhaps I'll have it when I make my Rudolph cake...

Meatball Sandwich
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes Ready In: 25 Minutes
Yields: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried Italian
seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
parsley
2 tablespoons grated
Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 French baguette
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive
oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt, or to taste
1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti
sauce
4 slices provolone cheese
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt. Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted.
4. While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Cool slightly, cut into servings, and enjoy!
