Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Bake Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Sub Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Marinara Sauce

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

  2. 5

    Assemble the Subs

    Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, leaving one side intact. Place 3-4 meatballs in each roll, spoon over marinara sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  3. 6

    Melt Cheese

    Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet and put them back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
