Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Chuck
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Minced Onion
  • 1 Pound Sweet Italian Sausages
  • 2 Green Bell Peppers, seeded
  • 32 Ounces Spaghetti Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Seasoned Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 Red Bell Peppers, seeded
  • 6 Hero Rolls, each about 12 inches

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix meat, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion and salt in a bowl. Shape into 18 meatballs. Place in a greased shallow baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until browned. Place sausage and water in a large skillet and cover. Bring to boiling over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes and uncover. Cook until browned. Drain on paper towels. Cut the sausages into chunks. Cut the peppers in 1 inch chunks. On each of 6 skewers, alternately thread meatballs, sausages and pepper strips. Place skewers on a broiler rack. Brush generously with spaghetti sauce. Broil until the peppers are tender and the meat is heated. Put the contents of each skewer on a roll. Top with a little heated spaghetti sauce and serve.
