Marc’s Meatball Subs With Garlic Rolls
For The Meatball Subs…
For The Sandwiches…
Instructions
1
Add the ground beef, garlic, parsley, eggs, Parmesan, and 1/4 c. of breadcrumbs to a large bowl. Using clean hands, mix everything together until it’s thoroughly combined. Add the milk to soften the breadcrumbs a bit. Mix in up to 1/4 c. more breadcrumbs, until the mixture holds and doesn’t stick to your hands. Roll the meat mixture into 2 Tablespoon-sized meatballs.
2
Heat 1/4-inch of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs making sure not to crowd the pan. Roll them around to ensure they get evenly cooked, about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake them at 350* F for about 30 minutes. Test a meatball with a meat thermometer – they should reach 165* internal temperature.
3
Heat the broiler on the oven. To make the sandwiches, begin by combining the butter with the garlic. Split the rolls in half, and spread 1/2 Tablespoon of garlic butter on each side of the hoagie rolls.
4
Spoon a few tablespoons of marinara sauce on each hoagie roll. Slice 3-4 meatballs per sub, and fan them evenly over the marinara sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the meatballs. Broil for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with basil and Parmesan. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Meatball Mix 🧊Refrigerate your ground beef mixture for at least 15 minutes before rolling to prevent them from falling apart during cooking and ensure they hold their shape perfectly.
- Toast Your Garlic Rolls First 🥖Butter and lightly toast the hoagie rolls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes before filling to create a crispy exterior that prevents sogginess from the sauce and cheese.
- Brown Meatballs Don't Mean Cooked 🎯Finish meatballs in marinara sauce rather than cooking them entirely on the stovetop—this keeps them moist while the sauce brings them to proper temperature (160°F internal).
- Fresh Basil Goes on Last 🌿Add fresh basil only after assembling the subs to preserve its vibrant flavor and visual appeal, as heat will turn it dark and diminish its aromatic qualities.
- Grate Your Own Mozzarella 🧀Use whole milk mozzarella blocks and grate them fresh rather than pre-shredded cheese, which melts unevenly due to anti-caking agents and won't achieve that creamy, cohesive layer.
