    Amish Meatball Sub Casserole

    By Kevin Williams

    Meatballs are popular in Amish homes, one of those overlaps between Italian and Amish cooking.  In Amish homes, you'll likely to see sausage and venison meatballs as much as ground beef.
    My grandmother's old Italian recipe meatballs were a favorite in our household. I think her two "secret ingredients" were parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.  You can click over to her recipe, Grandma's Italian Meatballs, here.

    This is a recipe that I got from an Amish woman in Kentucky and it really is a hearty, tasty, filling supper I can see why someone who has worked in the fields or the cabinet shop all day would like this.

    Reader Barbara tested this out for me and she had this to say:

    "This was a really tasty recipe.  Did not have any homemade bread that I could slice, so used Texas Toast that I toasted in the oven first.  Was easy, very wholesome, and very hearty.  Will be making this again during the winter.  Excellent in fact!!!

    Gathering the ingredients...

    Into the oven...

    And you have an amazingly hearty meal on your plate when it is done...

    So, here is that wonderful recipe!
