Re: Bella Cheesesteaks/Meatballs by Emeril

I have never tried the meatballs but I have tried the Bella Cheesesteak (beef) and they are VERY good!

 

  I have the originals in my freezer and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.  They cook up so easy, taste is excellent.  Steam 'Ums are yucko IMHO, these are nothing like them.  I will try the chicken in the future.

 

The OTO from Sunday was a different version though, which I have not tried.  Suppose to be more marinated and cook quicker, I think he said.

 

I have no problem w/ the cooking of the originals...they are SO fast, so this new variety confuses me a bit!  LOL

Re: Bella Cheesesteaks/Meatballs by Emeril

We've eaten the Bella cheesesteaks for years and really like them. They're very good,  lean and so easy to cook. I like to keep a box in the freezer because they're more convenient to cook on the spur of the moment than frozen burgers. I usually serve them with sauteed green peppers and onions, then, top them with provolone or American cheese just long enough to melt the cheese. They're delivered in a styrofoam container with dry ice. Mine have always been frozen, even when I was working and they were on the front steps during the day. Each portion is individually wrapped in waxed paper. The whole package is in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box. It fits very neatly in the freezer. I grew up in the Philly suburbs and these are just like the cheesesteaks I remember from my youth.
