Make With
Progresso Breadcrumbs

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix beef, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, the dried basil, salt, garlic powder, pepperoni and egg just until blended. In small bowl, place remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
  • 3
    Shape about 2 tablespoons beef mixture around each cheese ball; roll in bread crumbs. Place in pan.
  • 4
    Bake 20 minutes or until no longer pink and meat thermometer inserted in meatball (not in cheese) reads 160°F.
  • 5
    With serrated knife, cut buns horizontally in half, cutting to but not completely through one long side. Spoon about 2 tablespoons warm marinara sauce into each bun; top each with 4 meatballs, remaining marinara sauce and the fresh basil.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Instead of serving as a sandwich, serve meatballs over pasta or with toothpicks at a party.
  • tip 2
    Replace the beef with ground chicken, turkey or pork.
