The enchilada sauce really gives these a flavor that you aren’t going to find anywhere else. The taste is one that I don’t think that I could ever get tired of. These are so easy, it’s one of the recipes that my husband will make up if I have to be at work late. Granted I have it printed out and ready to go in the drawer, he can still do it just like you’re supposed to and it always comes out perfectly.

Ingredients
1 package Rosina Italian Style Meatballs (26 oz/1 lb 10 oz/737 g)
2 sweet onions, cut into long thin strips
1 jar of roasted red peppers (370 ml)
2 cups Homemade Enchilada Sauce, or Store Bought Enchilada Sauce
1 package store bought Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
1 package of 4 Cheese Sargento Mexican Shredded Cheese (8 oz/226 g)
Garnish:
green onions, or scallions, chopped
fresh cilantro
10 mini French sub buns
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line meatballs on a parchment lined rimmed cookie sheet. Place in oven and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes.
In a large cast iron pan, or skillet, cook the onions in about 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until onions brown. At medium heat it should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the onions are golden brown add the roasted red peppers, and cook while stirring for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess fat if desired.
Slice open the sub buns but not all the way through. Leave them attached, then just set them on a parchment lined cookie sheet cut side up.
Transfer the meatballs to a large skillet and sprinkle taco seasoning over top. Add enchilada sauce to the pan, then cook over medium heat, stirring until the meatballs are coated and the mixture is combined well. Take off heat.
Place about 5 meatballs in each bun. Scoop any extra sauce over top of each sub. Top with onion and pepper mixture. Then add cheese over top.
Place the pan in the preheated 375 degree F oven and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Remove from oven and dig in.
Serve with a big old meatball loving smile!
