Meatball Sandwiches recipe

Here’s a simple recipe for delicious meatball sandwiches:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (you can also use a mixture of ground beef and pork for added flavor)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4-6 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Optional: sliced provolone cheese, sautéed onions, bell peppers, or other toppings of your choice

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
4. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on the outside.
5. While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
6. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and set aside. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
7. Slice the hoagie rolls or sandwich buns in half lengthwise, and place them on a baking sheet.
8. Place a few meatballs on each bun, spoon some marinara sauce over the meatballs, and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. You can also add any additional toppings you like at this point.
9. Place the assembled sandwiches in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven, serve hot, and enjoy your delicious meatball sandwiches!
