Of course!&nbsp; But to keep things quick and easy, I use a cookie scoop to create meatballs right out of the packaging with no extra ingredients needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you form the meatballs, it is important to get a really nice sear on them before you add the sauce.&nbsp; I once read a tip that said if your meat is sticking to the pan, then you haven\u2019t seared it long enough.&nbsp; When you add the sauce, it gives you time to prep your toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original recipe says that you can serve this over rice or as an appetizer, which I haven\u2019t personally tried.&nbsp; Our favorite way to eat these are on a hoagie roll with a side of potato chips.&nbsp; To elevate it even more, you could try toasting the buns and spreading mayonnaise aioli on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, these have become a staple in our house.&nbsp; My husband absolutely loves them and requests them once a week.&nbsp; Fortunately for me, the ease of making the meatballs and the one pot clean-up makes these a no brainer for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#d4a0a4;color:#d4a0a4\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ease to Make:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taste:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clean-Up:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*My son ranks this as an 11\/10<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get ready for one of my favorite recipes!&nbsp; This Banh Mi Meatball Sandwich, brought to you by A Farmgirl\u2019s Dabbles, is truly the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meals"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PXL_20230111_234315691-e1690728677122.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeaplan.blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
