Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb. extra lean ground beef
• 1 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ¼ cup water
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• ¾ cup ketchup
• 8 slices Provolone cheese
• Sandwich rolls, for serving (I used whole wheat Nature’s Own with 130 calories per roll for purposes of calculating nutrition information)

Directions

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef, sausage, onion, and garlic. Drain, and transfer meat mixture to slow cooker.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine remaining ingredients to make the sauce.
• Pour sauce over meat mixture and stir.
• Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
• Spoon heaping portions of meat onto the bottom of each sandwich roll. Add a slice of cheese and place under the broiler (if desired) for about 1-2 minutes, or just until the cheese fully melts. Place tops of the buns on cheese and serve sandwiches immediately.
