Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce

4 sub 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, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined but avoid over-mixing.

      Form the mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

        In a large skillet over medium heat, add a thin layer of olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.

          Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet, cover with a lid, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and heated thoroughly.

            While the meatballs are simmering, prepare the sub rolls by cutting them open and placing them on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle the insides with olive oil or brush with melted butter for added flavor.

              Once the meatballs are ready, spoon 3 meatballs and some sauce into each sub roll.

                Top each meatball sub with shredded mozzarella cheese.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
