Vegetarian "Meatball" Wedges

Yummy.

Friends and readers regularly ask me for vegetarian recipes, so on our camping trip this past weekend  I substituted vegetarian "meatless" meatballs for the real thing in my meatball wedge recipe. 

The vegetarian version was a big hit - the kids ate them all up.  But first they asked, "What kind of meatballs are these?"  "Pork," I said.

Vegetarian Meatball Wedges

Adapted from The Real Family Camping Cookbook.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

16 frozen vegetarian meatballs – I used Trader Joe's meatless meatballs.

1 jar of spaghetti sauce

4 hamburger rolls – you can use hero rolls, but I never remember to buy them.

½ lb. of Mozzarella cheese or vegan cheese

salt & pepper

Preparation:

1.  Empty the jar of spaghetti sauce into a skillet and bring it to a simmer.

2.  Add the meatballs and return to a simmer.

3.  Place two slices of Mozzarella cheese on each roll and grill the roll until the cheese melts.

4.  When the meatballs are heated through, spoon 4 meatballs with sauce onto each roll.  

5.  Serve with extra sauce for dipping.

P.S. Vegetarian "meat" keeps well, making it an ideal camping food.
