Units
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
- Form into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until cooked through.
- While meatballs bake, heat marinara sauce in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 5–10 minutes to absorb flavor.
- Split hoagie rolls and lightly toast them under a broiler or in a skillet with olive oil, if desired.
- Place meatballs and sauce into each roll, then top with shredded mozzarella.
- Place assembled subs on a baking sheet and broil for 2–3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot with extra sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- You can use frozen meatballs for convenience.
- Try adding sautéed onions or bell peppers for added flavor.
- Great served with a side salad or chips.
