Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Egg
- 60 ml Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 500 ml Marinara sauce
- 4 slices Provolone cheese, sliced
- 4 Hoagie rolls
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix gently until everything is combined but be careful not to overmix.
Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter; this should yield around 16 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. They don’t need to be cooked through at this point, just nicely browned.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs, covering them well.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, slice the hoagie rolls and lightly toast them in the oven during the last 5 minutes of the baking time.
Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Divide the meatballs and sauce among the toasted hoagie rolls.
Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese, then place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy!
