With college football kickoff right around the corner I’m going to repost the gameday food posts from last year.
You thought I had forgotten about the gameday foods hadn’t you. Pas aussi mon ami! I never forget about food. Food is a friend I hold close. I hold it so close that I have to buy bigger pants from time to time. One of my best friends on gameday happens to be Zesty Meatball Subs. This recipe comes from a crockpot cookbook we have around here. You can’t beat these on a cold September Saturday afternoon with a big game going on the TV.
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 16 oz. can tomatoe sauce
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
In a large bowl, beat egg with salt, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and garlic. Add choppped onion, beef, turkey, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; mix well. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls and brown in a large skillet. Drain meatballs and transfer to a 5-quart crock-pot. In the same bowl, mix tomato sauce and wine; pour over meatballs. Cover and cook on low for 5.5 to 6 hours.
Just pour the meatballs and sauce into some split and warmed hoagie rolls to serve. Be sure to sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the meatballs before eating.
