Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 quarter cup parmesan cheese
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 4 pieces sub rolls
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 cup of bread crumbs, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Mix until just combined.

3. 3

   Shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.

5. 5

   Pour 2 cups of marinara sauce over the browned meatballs in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).

6. 6

   While the meatballs are simmering, slice the sub rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until lightly golden.

7. 7

   Remove the meatballs from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, place 3 meatballs onto each toasted sub roll. Spoon additional marinara sauce over the meatballs and top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

8. 8

   Return the loaded sub sandwiches to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and serve immediately.
