Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake the Meatballs

    Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, pour the spaghetti sauce into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until simmering.

  4. 4

    Combine Meatballs and Sauce

    Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the saucepan with the spaghetti sauce. Stir to coat the meatballs in the sauce and let them simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sub

    Slice the sub rolls open and place a few meatballs inside each roll. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled subs under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve hot.
