Instructions

  1. Preheat the pellet grill to 350°F using your favorite wood pellets.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, eggs, Parmesan and bread crumbs.
  3. Add the sausage seasoning and BBQ rub, then mix by hand until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Portion the mixture into balls using a small scoop or spoon, rolling them gently without packing them firmly.
  5. Spray a wire rack with cooking spray and set the meatballs on it.
  6. Dust the tops lightly with BBQ rub and place the rack on the grill.
  7. Cook until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F, about 35–40 minutes.
  8. Transfer the meatballs to a baking pan and coat them with BBQ sauce.
  9. Keep cooking until the sauce bubbles and glazes the top, about 5–10 minutes.
  10. Hollow out the center top of the French bread loaf, removing extra bread with your hands to make room.
  11. Lay the provolone slices in the bottom of the bread, add as many meatballs as will fit, and top with shredded mozzarella.
  12. Return the sandwich to the grill until the cheese melts, and toast the top piece of bread on the grill at the same time.
  13. Take the sandwich off the grill, set the toasted top on the sub, cut and serve.
