Mini-Meatball Sandwiches

by The Pioneer Woman

1-lb ground chuck or ground beef
1/2 cup panko or other bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup Milk (I used skim)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion (I used a whole medium onion)
1 jar marinara sauce (I used Hunt's Traditional canned sauce)
12 whole dinner rolls (I used the sweet King's Hawaiian)
Provolone Cheese

In large bowl, mix meat with bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and milk. Knead together with hands. Roll into heaping tablespoon-sized meatballs (I just divided mine evenly to make 12).

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for one minute, or until onions are soft and golden brown. Add meatballs between the onions and brown on all sides.

Pour in jar of marinara; shake pan gently to mix. Put on lid and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. (I continued to shake the pan every few minutes).

When ready to serve, cut each dinner roll in half. Place a wedge of provolone cheese on top and bottom of each roll. Spoon some sauce and a meatball on the bottom bun; top with the top bun.

Serve immediately.
