Total time: 75 min
Yield: 6 large or 12 small grinders or submarine sandwiches
Ingredients: 3 pounds of ground beef; 1 egg; 1 splash of spicy barbecue sauce or hot sauce; 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika; Salt to taste (I combined 1/2 tsp himalayan and 1/2 tsp alaea salt); 5 handfuls of plain potato chips (broken into smallish pieces); 4 tablespoons all purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika; Pinch of salt; 1 onion (diced); 2 shallots (diced); 1 cup barbecue sauce; 1 cup water; 3 cloves of garlic (minced); Submarine buns or Soft Buns (we used 6 mini sub buns and 3 large sub buns); 2 cups of mozzarella cheese; 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce; Optional- 12 slices of mozzarella cheese (this keeps a layer of cheese between the bottom bun and the meatballs and sauce which will keep the grinder from getting soggy!)
