Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 6 slices Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices
- 6 Hoagie rolls
- 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting rolls)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, egg, and milk. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned on the outside.
While the meatballs bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce and let it warm through.
Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the skillet with the marinara sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs in the sauce, then simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes.
Preheat your broiler on high. Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and optionally spread butter on the inside for toasting.
Place the hoagie rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
Spoon 3-4 meatballs and some marinara sauce onto each hoagie roll. Top the meatballs with a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese.
Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet and return them to the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
