Spicy Meatball Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
4 sandwiches
Steps
- First, make the meatballs. In a bowl, combine beef, parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, lemon zest, oregano, chili flakes, sea salt, and pepper, and mix well. Using the palms of your hands, shape into small 1-inch meatballs and set aside. Heat a high-sided pan over medium-heat and pour in the olive oil. When hot, add the meatballs and brown on all sides (about five minutes). Add the marinara, bring to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Awesome.
- Sandwich time. Liberally butter the outside of each piece of bread. Coat the inside of each piece of bread with about a tablespoon of marinara, then top with meatballs and sliced cheese. Add a few basil leaves, coat the second piece of bread with marinara, then sandwich. Easy peasy.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-heat. When hot add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown. Flip, cover with a lid, and cook until the cheese has melted. Yes please and thank you. Serve immediately. Delicious!!
