Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 4 rolls Gluten-free sub rolls
- 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, ground beef, ground pork, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter, which should yield approximately 12-16 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they are browned. Transfer browned meatballs to a plate or a baking dish.
Once all meatballs are browned, place them in a baking dish if not already there and pour marinara sauce over the top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the gluten-free sub rolls by cutting them open lengthwise and placing them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Once the meatballs are cooked, remove the foil and place a few slices of mozzarella cheese over the meatballs and sauce.
Place the opened sub rolls with cheese-topped meatballs under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allowing the sandwiches to cool slightly before carefully transferring the meatballs with sauce into the sub rolls.
Serve hot and enjoy a delicious Gluten-Free Classic Meatball Sandwich!
