Directions

MEATBALLS

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined. Form into 16 balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and arrange on prepared sheets.

2. Bake meatballs until browned and cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes. Keep warm until ready to use.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat golden and jammy, about 30 minutes.

2. Increase heat to medium and add garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, bring to a simmer, and cook until completely reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost completely reduced, 8 to 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

SANDWICHES

1. Heat broiler. Divide onions among hoagies. Arrange 4 meatballs in each, then top with Gruyère. 2. Place sandwiches on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until cheese is meltyand golden (watch closely!), 2 to 5 minutes. #frenchonionmeatballhoagies #frenchonionmeatballsubs #frenchonion #hoagies #subs #foodie #fyp #homecooking #homecooked #cooking #cook #food
