Wood Fire Meatball Grinder
Meatball Grinder Sandwiches are the perfect sub style sandwich to cook in your Ooni or wood fired oven. Juicy flavorful meatballs combine with zesty marinara and melted provolone in the hot Italian sandwich.
Equipment
- Cast Iron Fajita pan or Sizzler Pan
Ingredients
- 4 Italian Sandwich Rolls
- 12 Meatballs
- 32 Ounce Marinara Sauce
- 16 Slices Provolone or Mozzarella Cheese or combination
- ¼ Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- Italian Seasoning to taste
Parmesan Garlic Butter
- 1 Stick Butter
- ¼ Cup Grated Parmesan
- 2 Tablespoons Italian Dressing
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder or 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Salt
Instructions
- Soften the butter then mix all of the ingredients for the parmesan garlic butter together in a small bowl.
- Slice the Italian sandwich rolls in half lengthwise.
- Brown the meatballs and then cook to your liking. Add to a pan with the marinara and heat to a simmer.
- Spread some of the parmesan garlic spread on the sandwich roll, then place slices of provolone on the top and bottom of the roll.
- Top with 3 meatballs and some of the marinara sauce. If desired, top with additional mozzarella, provolone or parmesan cheese.
