Meatball Sub Sandwich with Marinara and Cheese

Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

1 lb ground beef or pork

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

For the sandwich:

4 sub rolls

1 1/2 cups marinara sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Make the meatballs:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine ground beef (or pork), breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Form the mixture into 1-2 inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

Heat the marinara sauce:

While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.

Assemble the sandwiches:

Once the meatballs are ready, slice the sub rolls and lightly toast them in the oven for 2-3 minutes.

Spoon some marinara sauce into each sub roll, add a few meatballs, and spoon more sauce on top.

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and return the sandwiches to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Enjoy your cheesy and flavorful meatball sub sandwich!
