Ingredients
- Prepared Meatballs: 1 lb Organic Ground Beef + 1 tsp Italian Seasoning from Sunday Prep
- 1/2 jar Organic Marinara
- 1 pack Specially Selected Brioche Rolls
- Organic Shredded Mozzarella amount to taste
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- The Meatballs: Add just 1 tsp of olive oil (or a quick spray) to a large skillet on Level 7 (Medium-High). Add your pre-rolled homemade meatballs and sauté until browned on all sides (about 5-7 mins). Carefully drain excess fat from the pan. Add 1/2 jar of organic marinara, reduce heat to Level 2-3 (Low), and simmer for 10 mins.
- The Rolls: Preheat your broiler to High and wait until the coils are glowing orange. Slice your Specially Selected Brioche Rolls in half. Place both halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Place on the second-highest rack (not the very top!) and broil for 45-60 seconds. Watch closely—brioche burns fast!
- Assemble: Fill the bottom halves with meatballs and sauce. Top directly with organic mozzarella. Leave the top halves off to the side!
- Broil: Return the open-faced bottoms to the oven for 2 mins until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cap with the top bun and serve.
Notes
Zero Waste Tip: You'll have about half a jar of marinara left. Freeze it for a future recipe! (Note: Don't freeze it in the glass jar as it might crack—transfer to a freezer-safe Pyrex container or bag, leaving about an inch of space at the top for expansion.)
Parent Tip: If your child has an aversion to melted or stringy cheese, skip the mozzarella on their portion. Instead, sprinkle a little freshly grated Parmesan on their meatballs after toasting—it adds flavor without the chewy consistency!
