Meatballs and Sub Assembly

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Heat the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat until warm.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Subs

    Slice the hoagie rolls and layer fresh spinach on the bottom. Add 3-4 meatballs per roll, spoon marinara sauce over the meatballs, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled subs under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve warm.
