Mr. Food: Meatball Subs September 13

Mr. Food: The other night I was flipping through our Comfort Cookbook, looking for what to make for dinner, and I found our recipe for meatball subs! And I made it, and it was so good...so good...that I asked Howard, here in my Test Kitchen to make a batch so we could share it with you - Howard: You know everybody loves these! And the reason they're so good is that they're not too hard and not too soft and they're just loaded with flavor! And the trick is to start off with the right ground beef! 'cause if it's too lean it's gonna make our meatballs dry and tasteless - Mr. Food: Right for sure! So pick up ground beef that's an 80/20 blend, (that's 80% lean, 20 % fat). After we mix that with some breadcrumbs, an egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and a few seasonings, get this... We added some water!! That'll keep our meatballs really moist! Mr. Food: Right! Now we use a scoop, we'll roll our meatballs, and we'll place 'em in a pot, top 'em off with a couple jars of spaghetti sauce, and we'll simmer 'em for about an hour or so. Ya see, when they cook like this... The meat absorbs the sauce and the sauce gets all the flavor from the meat - Put out a bowl of these flavor-packed meatballs with some rolls and dinner is ready. Mr. Food: Howard, you put the recipe for "Classic Meatball Subs" from the book online right? Howard: I did! And oh! Spread a little garlic butter on our rolls and toast 'em, that'll even make 'em better yet! Howard: want a little cheese on yours?
Mr. Food: you betcha!! Mmm...mmm... This one's a real winner, real winner and "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!! "
