Meatballs

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).

  2. 2

    Cook Meatballs

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

  3. 3

    Make Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble Subs

    Slice the sub rolls and place cooked meatballs inside. Spoon sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
