Spicy Cajun Meatball Subs July 12 2023

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Mike's Spicy All-Purpose Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (such as dried basil, oregano, or parsley)
  • Sub rolls or hoagie buns
  • Marinara sauce
  • Sliced cheese (such as provolone or mozzarella)
  • Optional toppings: sliced onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Mike's Spicy All-Purpose Seasoning, and Italian herbs. Mix everything together until well combined.

  3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.

  4. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.

  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sub rolls or hoagie buns. Cut them open lengthwise, leaving one side attached.

  6. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and set aside briefly.

  7. Preheat your broiler or oven's top heat element.

  8. Place the sub rolls or hoagie buns on a baking sheet, cut side up. Spread a desired amount of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each roll.

  9. Arrange the cooked meatballs on top of the marinara sauce, and if desired, add sliced onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños.

  10. Place a slice of cheese on top of the meatballs and toppings.

  11. Place the baking sheet with the prepared subs under the broiler or in the oven under the top heat element. Broil for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the rolls are lightly toasted.

  12. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully close the subs by placing the top halves of the rolls on the melted cheese and meatballs.

  13. Serve the Spicy Cajun Meatball Subs hot and enjoy!
