Savory Meatball Submarine Sandwiches
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped basil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 jar (24 ounces) tomato basil sauce
- 4 submarine rolls
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the ground beef with seasoned breadcrumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, chopped basil, beaten egg, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary until thoroughly mixed.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs, roughly 1.5 inches in size, and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and golden-brown.
- While the meatballs are baking, warm the tomato basil sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Once the meatballs are ready, gently transfer them into the sauce and let them simmer together for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully slice the submarine rolls open lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each roll with several meatballs and ladle some of the tomato basil sauce over them.
- Sprinkle a handful of shredded provolone cheese on top of each sub.
- Return the loaded subs to the oven on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure meatballs are cooked through before adding to sauce.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste.
- For extra flavor, add more herbs to the meatball mixture.
