Meatball Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Meatballs

    Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Red Sauce

    In another pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, oregano, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Meatballs with Sauce

    Add cooked meatballs to the red sauce and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the garlic rolls in half. Place meatballs with sauce on the bottom half, top with mozzarella cheese, and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Close the sandwich with the top half of the garlic roll and serve immediately.
