Ingredients
For Meatballs:
- 1/2 pound ground beef (reserved from Fast Food Cheese Burgers recipe)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 egg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce, jarred or homemade, recipe follows
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Directions
For Sub:
- 2 sub rolls
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
For meatballs, in a large bowl mix together all ingredients (including the beef), except the canola oil, tomato sauce and mozzarella, until well combined. Using wet hands, form walnut-size pieces into balls. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs until browned on all sides.
Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and put on a baking sheet. Top each half with 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce, 4 meatballs and some mozzarella cheese. Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
Chunky Tomato Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a medium pot, add the oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Yield: 4 cups

Love this recipe! It's perfect when I have nothing planned for dinner. The best part is most of the ingredients are already in my pantry!
