The Selection
It's NFL Championship Sunday. Need to drop diet plans and have a football worthy meal this Sunday. It feels like a hot meat and cheese day for cold weather and football. Something I have not had before on Sunday is meatball sandwiches. I pulled a family Recipe for today.

The Preparation
The Tomato Sauce for the meatballs uses the same recipe as the Italian Sausage Sandwich recipe. The meatball recipe is below.Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- 1 tsp chopped parsely
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese
- 4 oz grated mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Preparation:
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then shape into balls.
- Brown meatballs in a pan with olive oil
- Place browned meatballs in tomato sauce and simmer (as long as you like)
I altered the recipe slightly and added 2 hot italian sausages to the meatball mixture to give a little extra flavor and stretch the ground beef to feed more family members. When preparing sandwiches I also added mozzarella cheese on top and placed in the toaster oven to melt and brown the cheese.
If you have all the ingredients, this is a very easy recipe to prepare.
