Meatball Sub Dinner (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Meatballs From Scratch

01 - 1 large egg
02 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
03 - 1 pound ground beef (95% lean)
04 - ½ teaspoon table salt
05 - ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
06 - 1-2 minced garlic cloves
07 - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

→ Putting It Together

08 - 8 soft hot dog rolls
09 - 2 cups tomato marinara sauce
10 - 24 pre-made or homemade meatballs
11 - 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Grab everything for the meatballs, mix it up, and roll into 24 portions. Toss into a hot skillet with oil and brown all sides.
02 - Pour marinara over the browned meatballs, pop on a lid, and let it cook on medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes until the inside hits 160°F.
03 - Lay out the buns on a baking sheet and make sure the oven rack is about 6 inches below the broiler.
04 - Stuff each bun with three meatballs, spoon over sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes until the top gets bubbly and golden.

# Notes:

01 - It's fine to swap in frozen meatballs if needed.
02 - Don’t forget to keep an eye on things under the broiler to stop it from burning.
