Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups marinara sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 hoagie or sub rolls
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Extra parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). You want it nice and hot for achieving that perfect meatball crust.
Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently; don't overdo it, as overmixing can lead to tough meatballs.
Form the Meatballs: Use your hands to shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Bake the Meatballs: Pop them in the oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes, or until they're browned and cooked through.
Heat the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, marinara sauce, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer gently.
Combine the Two: Once your meatballs are done, transfer them to the sauce and let them soak for a few minutes on low heat.
Prepare the Rolls: Slice each hoagie roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Optionally, lightly toast them.
Assemble the Subs: In each hoagie roll, place a few meatballs along with a generous spoonful of the marinara sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Final Bake: Return assembled subs to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a bright finish. Serve hot and enjoy!
