Meatball Hoagie Buffet
- SERVES
- 8
- COOK TIME
- 30 Min
It's easy to take the ho-hum out of the game-time menu. How? Serve up a batch of meatballs, fresh hoagie rolls, and this choice of Italian- and German-style sauces...and let 'em choose their favorite flavors.
What You'll Need
- 4 pounds ground beef
- 2 (2.8-ounce) cans French-fried onions, coarsely crushed
- 1 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (18-ounce) jar beef gravy
- 1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish, drained
- 1 (26-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 hoagie rolls, split
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, French-fried onions, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper; mix well. Shape into 24 meatballs and place on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the gravy and horseradish over low heat. In another medium saucepan, combine the spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese over low heat. Simmer each 5 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
- Place 3 meatballs on each hoagie roll and serve with bowls of each sauce for topping the sandwiches.
Notes
What I like about these hoagies is that everyone gets to choose the sauce they like best. When I top mine with the gravy, I like to add some additional French-fried onions for extra flavor and crunch. When using the spaghetti sauce for topping, I sprinkle on some additional Parmesan cheese.

Sounds yummy ... but the price of these ingredients in the store would require me to take out a loan at the bank. 4 pounds of ground beef, alone, is $15-20 ... and 2 cans of FF onions is $5 or more. Yipes.

If you buy the family size pkg of hamburger you should be able to get it for no more than $3.29 lb. Until the end of the month, Subway is running a special on 6" meatball subs for $2 each. You would be money ahead to just buy a sack full of subs for the New Years games. Any other time, if you're going to serve hot (beef) sandwiches for a get together, good luck doing it for less than $5 a person. Guess you could always through a pork roast in the crock pot and have barbecue pulled pork sandwiches. It's never cheap playing host
