- Ground meat options: I love using a mix of ground beef and ground pork. This mix gives the meatballs a rich flavor. You can also use turkey or chicken if you prefer leaner meat. - Breadcrumbs and cheese: Use 1 cup of breadcrumbs to help bind the meatballs. I add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese for extra taste. - Seasonings and herbs: Fresh parsley, garlic, oregano, and basil make a big difference. They add flavor and freshness to the meatballs. Use salt and pepper to enhance all these tastes.

Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1/2 pound ground pork

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 large egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups marinara sauce

4 hoagie rolls

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

      Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned.

          In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat. Once the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

            While the meatballs are simmering, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise but not all the way through.

              Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly drizzle oil on the cut sides of the rolls and toast them in the skillet until golden brown.

                To assemble, place a generous amount of meatballs in each toasted hoagie roll. Spoon some marinara sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.

                  Return the assembled subs to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                    Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve warm.
