Ingredients

FOR THE MEATBALLS

  • 1 pound ground meatloaf mix
  • 1 cup onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 6 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt

FOR THE SUBS

  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 5 hero rolls
  • 8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup french-fried onions
  • dill pickle slices

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl combine 1 pound ground meatloaf mix, 1 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 beaten egg, 2 teaspoon yellow mustard, 6 tablespoon breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Form into 20 1½-inch balls and place on a large, foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, 20 to 25 min. Transfer meatballs to a saucepan with ½ cup barbecue sauce and keep warm.
  • Fill 5 rolls with cheddar and heat in oven until melted, about 5 min. Top with meatballs and sauce, French-fried onions and pickles.

NOTES
