>>5055 well first off, the secret to any great sandwich, whether meatball or anything, is cheese. put some cheese in them meatballs. You can roll the meat around blue, feta, mozzarella, mix in grated romano or parmesan, whatever you have around that isn't that processed american crap. You can even throw some milk in there for a nice flavor. If you have swiss cheese or provolone, even better - assemble the sandwich open-faced, lay that shit on top, and stick it under a broiler. A good standard meatball just needs some breadcrumbs, one egg as binder or else some oil, crushed garlic, a few herbs or whatever seasoning, and one thing I like to put in is a tiny pinch of ground cloves. Just a little, they go a long way, but it helps round out and beefen up the flavor somehow. You can mix ground beef and pork, some lamb and veal if you want to get fancy, some turkey if you want to get healthy, or just beef all the way.
Use a good tomato sauce - you can make your own but the jars of ragu and marinaara are fine too. After you fully brown your meatballs in a skillet, pour that right over them and let it simmer and stew for a while, twenty minutes or so. Maximum delicious.
When those are nearly finished, get a hot skillet going for some green peppers, if you like, with plenty of oil. You'll use this pan to get your bread ready too - a good hoagie roll, a supermarket sandwich roll, little Italian or French baguette, your choice - spread with a little butter and toasted by laying it flat on a hot, greased pan. Get it all crispy and nicely toasted (this is very important, nothing ruins a sandwich like soggy bread), then turn it over, leaving it in the skillet to get the top side a little, spoon on some meatballs, tomato sauce, peppers, a bit of pepper or fresh basil or those yellow pepperocinos or some green crap if you want to feel healthy, toss on more cheese and under the broiler with that till the cheese is melting and bubbling and lovely.
Put it together and bite. Let the grease drip down your hands. Orgasm.
