Ingredients
- For the Meatball Subs:
- 3 hoagie rolls
- 12 beef meatballs (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 to 1.5 cups marinara sauce
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 to 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- For Homemade Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground beef (85/15)
- 1 egg
- 1 slice whole wheat bread (soaked in milk, squeezed)
- 1/4 cup minced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 tbsp fresh minced basil
- 1/2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
- 1/2 to 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the meatballs: In a bowl, combine beef, egg, onion, Parmesan, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and soaked bread. Mix well and form into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Assemble subs: Slice hoagie rolls on top (not all the way through), spoon in marinara sauce, add meatballs, top with more sauce, mozzarella, and oregano.
- Bake assembled subs for 15-17 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Toast rolls before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Store meatballs and sauce separately to keep leftovers fresh.
- Swap mozzarella with provolone or cheddar for variety.
- Add sautéed veggies or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
