Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 cups pasta sauce or marinara sauce
- 16 frozen meatballs or homemade below
- 4 tablespoons garlic butter
Meatballs (or use frozen meatballs if preferred)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 egg
- ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the meatballs as per the package instructions, or if you prefer homemade, mix all the meatball ingredients together. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until they are fully cooked.
- Once the meatballs are ready, transfer them to a saucepan containing the pasta sauce. Let them simmer on low heat for 10 minutes with the lid on.
- In the meantime, spread garlic butter inside each hoagie roll. Set your broiler to heat and toast the rolls until they turn a golden brown, which should take roughly 3 minutes.
- Arrange the toasted rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Fill each roll with four meatballs, topping them with a bit of sauce and shredded cheese.
- Broil the assembled subs for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted. Serve with additional sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
