1 Large Egg
1/3 Cup milk or buttermilk
2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Cup dry seasoned breadcrumbs or crushed croutons
1 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 1/2 Pound ground beef

1 Jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
4 (6 inch) sub rolls or baguettes, cut through the sides

Steps

  • 1

    In a small mixing bowl using a fork or whisk, beat the egg. Whisk in the milk and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the breadcrumbs and Cajun seasoning, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

  • 2

    In another bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the meat mixture and combine well.

  • 3

    If the mixture seems dry, add a bit more milk. If too wet, add more dry breadcrumbs. Roll the mixture into balls about the size of golf balls.

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 325°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    In the meantime, heat the marinara sauce in a pan on the stovetop. Transfer the cooked meatballs to the pan and let them simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

  • 7

    Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil and lay them on your work surface. Put a hoagie roll in the center of each. Divide the meatballs among the rolls.

  • 8

    Top the meatballs with provolone cheese. Wrap the sandwiches tightly in the foil and return to the Traeger to heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
