Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 4 Sub rolls
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.

Step 2

Portion the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and roll them gently between your palms to form uniform balls.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.

Step 4

Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

Step 5

While the meatballs are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the sub rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Once the meatballs are ready, spoon two to three meatballs along with some marinara sauce into each sub roll.

Step 7

Top the meatballs with shredded mozzarella cheese and place the sandwiches in the oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious meatball sub sandwiches!
