Meat lovers Meatball Sandwich

I asked readers to tell me what they thought would be a good Father’s Day dinner.  I got several really good ideas, but Rusty Hammer suggested a meatball sandwich – and my husband concurred!  So I went with that theme and added a couple of surprises and this is what we ended up with!  What do you think?

What you need:

How to Do it:

Cook the bacon until its crisp, reserving the fat in the pan.  Mix well with the beef, sausage, bread crumbs and egg.

Form the meat into 12 meat balls, about 1 ½ inch thick. Brown them in the bacon fat, turning once.

Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 15 minutes, until the liquid has been reduced to a thick sauce.

Lightly toast the inside of the buns in the oven.

Place 3 meatballs and 2 or 3 spoonfuls of sauce onto each sandwich bun.  Top with ¼ cup of cheese
