Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cups Marinara sauce
• 4 pieces Hoagie rolls
• 8 slices Provolone or mozzarella cheese (slices)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting rolls)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined, but do not overmix.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should yield approximately 18-20 meatballs.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until they’re browned all over but not fully cooked through.

Step 5

Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Step 6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the hoagie rolls. Optionally, slice the rolls and spread them with butter before toasting in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.

Step 8

Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven. Place 4-5 meatballs on each hoagie roll, spooning extra marinara sauce over the top.

Step 9

Lay 2 slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese over the meatballs in each sandwich. Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking tray and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the meatball subs warm. Enjoy!
