A hearty sandwich filled with homemade Italian meatballs, marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese, served on a crusty roll.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 4 hoagie rolls
• 8 slices mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Form mixture into 12 meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes.
5. Pour marinara sauce into the skillet, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.
6. Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Place on a baking sheet.
7. Place 3 meatballs and a spoonful of sauce into each roll. Top with 2 slices of mozzarella.
8. Bake sandwiches for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, toast the rolls lightly before assembling.
• Leftover meatballs can be stored separately and reheated.
