Cheesy Volcano Meatball Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Mix meat, cracker crumbs, Parmesan and 1/4 cup pasta sauce just until blended. Shape into 12 balls, using about 2 Tbsp. meat mixture for each.
• Place, 2 inches apart, in shallow pan sprayed with cooking spray. Press 1 cheese cube deeply into center of each meatball.
• Bake 14 min. or until meatballs are done (160ºF).
• Microwave remaining sauce in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 sec. or until heated through. Fill buns with meatballs and sauce just before serving.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix meat, cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce in medium bowl. Shape into twelve meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons meat mixture for each.
• Place, 2 inches apart, in shallow baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Press 1 cheese cube deeply into center of each meatball.
• Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minute or until meatballs are cooked through.
• While meatballs are baking, microwave remaining 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 sec. or until heated through.
• Spoon sauce evenly into buns. Fill each with three meatballs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pour the marinara sauce all over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Cut off one third of the mozzarella and cut the third into 12 small cubes. Grate the remaining mozzarella and set aside.
• Stuff each meatball with a mozzarella cube, pinching and rolling each to seal the cheese in the center. Place the stuffed meatballs in the baking dish and bake until well browned and cooked through, 22 to 24 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce by melting 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. While constantly whisking, slowly add the milk. Add the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, then stir until completely melted. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Spread the insides of the rolls with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Toast them butter-side down on a large skillet or griddle until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Add 3 meatballs to each of the toasted rolls. Top with a good amount of the cheese sauce, some banana peppers and a sprinkle of parsley to finish.
