Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2.5 cups Marinara sauce
• 4 pieces Hoagie rolls
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overmix.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and set them aside on a plate or baking sheet.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. They do not need to be cooked through at this stage.

Step 5

Remove the meatballs and set them aside. In the same skillet, pour in the marinara sauce and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Carefully add the browned meatballs to the sauce. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are fully cooked and tender.

Step 7

While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the hoagie rolls. Slice them lengthwise, leaving one side intact to hold the sandwich together.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix butter and garlic powder. Spread the mixture on the inside of the rolls, then place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 9

Toast the rolls in the oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 10

Once the meatballs are done, spoon 3-4 meatballs and some sauce into each roll.

Step 11

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and place the sandwiches back on the baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade meatball subs!
