Meatball Sandwich Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meatballs

   In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Form and Cook Meatballs

   Form the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown meatballs on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Simmer in Marinara Sauce

   In the same skillet, add marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs back into the sauce and let them simmer for an additional 15 minutes.

   Bake and Serve

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
