Meatball Sub Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Heat the Marinara Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, heat marinara sauce over medium heat until warmed through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Subs

    Preheat your wood-fired oven or regular oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice French bread rolls in half and place a few meatballs on each roll. Spoon marinara sauce over the meatballs.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Toast

    Layer shredded mozzarella and sliced provolone on top of the marinara-covered meatballs. Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, and serve with chips on the side.
