Featured Maple Leaf Product: Broiled Meatballs, 10 g each (#40118)
French Onion Meatballs on a Bun – NEW
Recipe Information
Method
- The day before thaw the meatballs in steam table pan under refrigeration at <4'C/40'F.
- Prepare the caramelized onions. In a large skillet, heat the margarine on medium heat until melted. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring until softened and lightly browned; about 10 minutes. If the onion begins to brown too quickly, turn the heat down to medium-low. After 10 minutes, add salt, sugar and cook for an additional 2 minutes; set aside.
- Prepare the beef gravy according to package directions. Add the thawed meatballs and heat for 8-10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165'F/74'C held for 15 seconds. Remove from heat and add caramelized onions.
- Slice the buns in half and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread 1 tsp/5 mls of garlic spread on the top side of the bun.
- Place 6 meatballs with gravy/caramelized onion mixture on the bottom of each bun. Sprinkle 10 g of shredded swiss cheese on top of the meatballs. Place in a convection oven at 325'F/165'F for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately. Sprinkle with parsley and cut the sandwich in half.
