Ingredients
MEATBALLS:
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled and grated
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
OTHER:
- 4 hoagie rolls, split in half
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh minced parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
PREPARE THE MEATBALLS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, add the beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, milk, egg, Parmesan, parsley, Italian herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Use your (clean) hands to combine the meat mixture, being careful not to over-mix.
Roll the mixture into meatballs (try to get 16 meatballs), and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until the meatballs are fully cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes.
ASSEMBLE THE SUBS:
Preheat the broiler.
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lay out the split hoagie rolls on the tray.
Spread a couple tablespoons of marinara sauce evenly onto each hoagie roll. Place 4 meatballs in each roll, and top the meatballs on each hoagie with 1 to 2 tablespoons of marinara. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top of the meatballs, and then top with the Parmesan.
Broil until the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the fresh minced parsley if desired.
Serve.
