Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
¾ 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
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt, or to taste
1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
4 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
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.
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.
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!

Categories Food & Cooking Ingredients Meat & Poultry Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 6 to 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

16 cloves garlic, peeled
2 small yellow onions, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large rib celery, chopped
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup coarse salt
1 (5-pound) pork butt
4 cups Barbecue Sauce
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
6 to 8 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, soft centers removed, toasted, for serving
Garlic Dill Pickles, for serving
Coleslaw, for serving

Steps:

Place garlic, onions, carrot, celery, cumin, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add 1/2 cup water; process until well combined. Place pork in a large, deep roasting pan. Rub pork generously with vegetable puree; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add enough water to the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the pork. Cover pan tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until pork is very tender and falling apart, about 5 hours, checking pan occasionally to make sure water has not evaporated and adding more water as necessary.
Remove pork from oven. Let stand until cool enough to handle. (At this point, pork may be kept refrigerated and covered for up to 5 days.)
Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Shred pork with a fork or pull apart using your fingers; discard any excess fat. In a large baking dish, combine shredded pork with 3 cups barbecue sauce. Transfer to oven and cook until mixture is heated through and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
Divide pork and shredded lettuce evenly among rolls. Serve with remaining cup of barbecue sauce, pickles, and coleslaw.

Tips:

Choose the right ground pork: Look for ground pork that is at least 80% lean. This will help to ensure that the meatballs are not too greasy.
Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to taste. If you like things spicy, add a little more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spices.
Cook the meatballs thoroughly: The meatballs should be cooked all the way through before they are added to the sandwiches. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
Toast the buns: Toasting the buns will help to make them more sturdy and flavorful.
Add your favorite toppings: Once the sandwiches are assembled, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include coleslaw, pickles, and onions.

Conclusion:

Pork barbecue meatball sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
