These cheesy meatball subs are the ultimate comfort food! Packed with juicy meatballs, marinara sauce, and melted cheese, they’re perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef or pork
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Subs:
4 hoagie rolls
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Make the Meatballs:
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Roll into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
Cook the Meatballs:
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
In the same skillet, warm the marinara sauce. Add the cooked meatballs and let them simmer for 5 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Assemble the Subs:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place hoagie rolls on a baking sheet. Fill each roll with meatballs and sauce, then top generously with mozzarella cheese.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake the subs for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Switch to broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden, crispy top.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Pair with a side of fries or salad for a complete meal!
Pro Tip: Add a drizzle of spicy sriracha or ranch for an extra flavor twist!
Enjoy these Cheesy Meatball Subs – a delicious, melty, and satisfying treat!
