- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 crusty sub rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
