Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and form into 1-inch meatballs.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Pour marinara sauce over the cooked meatballs in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Subs

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice sub rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Spoon meatballs and sauce into the rolls, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
