By adriennehannis

Ingredients

• For Meatballs:
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
• 1 egg
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 cup tomato sauce, jarred or homemade, recipe follows
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• For the Subs:
• 2 sub rolls

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

For meatballs, in a large bowl mix together all ingredients (including the beef), except the canola oil, tomato sauce and mozzarella, until well combined. Using wet hands, form walnut-size pieces into balls. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs until browned on all sides.

Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and put on a baking sheet. Top each half with 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce, 4 meatballs and some mozzarella cheese. Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
