Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 4 large Sub rolls
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 16 evenly sized meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter).

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned all over. Transfer to a plate as you go.

Step 5

In the same skillet, pour in the marinara sauce and bring it to a simmer. Add the browned meatballs back into the sauce, spoon sauce over them, and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.

Step 6

While the meatballs cook, split your sub rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until slightly crisp.

Step 7

Remove the rolls from the oven. Place 4 meatballs into each sub roll and generously spoon marinara sauce over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs. Return the subs to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Marvelous Meatball Subs!
