Ingredients
1 cup no salt added crushed tomatoes
4 teaspoons Culinary Genie Salt-Free Zesty Italian & Pizza Seasoning Blend, divided
1 pound ground meatloaf mixture (beef, pork)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese or vegan Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup plain panko bread crumbs or gluten-free panko bread crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
4 metal skewers
1 loaf French baguette bread or gluten-free baguette bread, cut into 4 sections
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 slices provolone cheese or dairy-free cheese of choice
Directions
Prepare grill to medium heat. To make marinara, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine tomatoes and 2 teaspoons Culinary Genie Salt-Free Zesty Italian & Pizza Seasoning Blend. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine meatloaf mixture, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg and remaining 2 teaspoons Culinary Genie Salt-Free Zesty Italian & Pizza Seasoning Blend. Form into 12 meatballs. Place 3 meatballs on each skewer.
Place skewers on grill. Grill, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut each section of bread in half, leaving one side attached. Brush with olive oil. Place on grill; grill until golden brown.
Microwave marinara until heated through, about 30-60 seconds. Remove meatballs from skewers and place in bread. Top with warm marinara and cheese. If desired, place under broiler until cheese is melted and golden brown.
