Mexican Meatball Subs Recipe

I have wanted to make this Mexican Meatball Subs Recipe for quite some time now and for some reason kept putting it off. So last night I decided to get it done. This is a very simple recipe. Most of the time involved is baking the meatballs so there is very little prep time. I prepared the recipe as written, and as far as seasoning goes, it was perfect for my taste; which I like kind of mild. It would be real easy to heat these meatballs up a little bit. I used mild green chilies, but if you use the hot verity I ‘m sure it would do the trick, if you like it hot.

Total cooking time on this recipe was about 30 minutes and it makes 4 hoagie size subs. This would be a great game day or party recipe, just double or triple as needed. Enjoy

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 egg

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 can tomato sauce (8 ounces-divided)

1 can chopped green chilies (4 ounce)

4 teaspoons dried onion flakes (divided)

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup shredded cheddar

4 Hoagie or Brat buns

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

1. Combine ground beef, rolled oats, egg, chili powder and salt. (hands work great for this)then mix in 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of green chilies and 3 teaspoons of dried onion.

When I saw this Hot Dog Sloppy Joes Recipe, I thought, what a cool idea. This recipe is about as basic as it gets. It is very good, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
