How to Make Meatball Melties
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parsley, Pecorino-Romano, egg, minced garlic, onion, milk, and sage. Season generously with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Avoid overmixing.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until browned.
- Top each meatball with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the crushed tomatoes. Stir in basil and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Place the cooked meatballs on the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
- Top each meatball with a generous spoonful of the tomato sauce and the top half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
