Meatballs

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into large meatballs, about the size of a golf ball (approximately 2 inches in diameter).

  4. 4

    Bake Meatballs

    Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat until it is warm.

  2. 6

    Assemble Sandwiches

    Slice the sub rolls in half. Place 2 meatballs in each roll, followed by a slice of provolone cheese and a generous amount of shredded mozzarella.

  3. 7

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Spoon warm marinara sauce over the meatballs and cheese in each sandwich.

  4. 8

    Melt Cheese

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

  5. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove sandwiches from the oven, add fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
