Meatball Subs
Savory beef meatballs in tomato sauce on garlic bread with mozzarella and parmesan
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 hour hr
For the meatballs:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- fresh black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/4 cup italian bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- milk as needed if meat mix is too dry
- 1 bottle pasta sauce of your choice
For the sandwiches:
- 4 sandwich rolls
- sliced mozzarella cheese
- grated parmesan cheese
- garlic butter optional
Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix gently with your hands. You don't want to overmix the meat. Fry a small piece and taste for seasoning. Adjust as needed.
Form into balls and pan fry in a skillet until browned on all sides. Add the sauce and continue cooking for 30-40 minutes to allow the meatballs to cook through and everything to meld.
Cut the rolls, spread with garlic butter if using and toast lightly. Add the sliced mozzarella and return to the oven to allow it to melt.
Top with the meatballs and sauce and grated parmesan and serve!
