Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious meatball sandwich:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (you can also use a mix of ground beef and pork for extra flavor)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4-6 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional: sliced bell peppers, onions, or any other toppings you like
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get around 12-15 meatballs, depending on the size.
- 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.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
- Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven.
- Slice the hoagie rolls or sandwich buns in half lengthwise, and place them on a baking sheet.
- Place 2-3 meatballs on each roll, depending on the size of the rolls.
- Spoon some marinara sauce over the meatballs, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- If desired, add any extra toppings such as sliced bell peppers or onions.
- Place the assembled sandwiches back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious meatball sandwiches!
