Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground Beef or ground meat of your choice
  • ½ cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 eggs slight beaten
  • ¼ cup of milk
  • ½ tsp salt -- I like Kosher salt

  • 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

  • 1 tsp of garlic powder or Italian Spice Mix
Instructions
  1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, seasonings and milk in a small bowl -- let sit for about 3 to 5 minutes to allow crumbs to absorb liquids
  3. Combine breadcrumb mixture with ground beef mixing thoroughly. Don't overwork.
  4. Use a teaspoon to measure out mixture -- roll into equal size meatballs.
  5. Place onto cookie sheet that has sides and covered with foil.
  6. Pour stock, broth or water into the bottom of the pan and put into oven.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  8. When meatballs are done move them to a large sauce pan, cover with sauce and warm.
  9. Butter buns and if desired lightly sprinkle with garlic salt -- optionally brown lightly in a skillet
  10. Place open buns on a oven proof pan, fill with meatball mixture and cover with desired amount of cheese.
  11. Place in broiler or very hot oven for a few minutes until cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.
  12. Serve with a fresh salad.
