Meatball subs filled with homemade baked meatballs.
Homemade meatballs are a little bit putsy to make but they are SO worth it. They are so much better than the frozen store bought kind, you will never go back.
These meatballs are PACKED with flavor! They are seasoned with parmesan cheese, onions, basil, garlic, oregano, and salt which together form the perfect Italian flavor.
Once the meatballs are prepared you place them on a sub bun and toast them in the oven for a few minutes and the meatball subs are complete. These meatballs can be made in advance and frozen to have on hand for throwing a quick dinner together. This dish will be a show stopper, without a doubt!
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup fresh basil, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 23.75 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
- 6 large sub buns
- 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, parmesan cheese, onion, eggs, basil, garlic, oregano, and salt. I usually use my hands for this part. Mix until well combined.
- Form meatballs using a spoon or a cookie scoop about 2-3 tablespoons in size. You should have about 30-40 meatballs. Place on the prepared baking sheet about one inch apart.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine spaghetti sauce and meatballs. On a large clean baking sheet, place the bottom half of the sub buns. Using a large spoon, scoop several meatballs onto each sub bun. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese,
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bun is toasted. Top each sub with the other half of the bun. Cut each sub in half and serve immediately.
- Note: You may have a few meatballs left over. If you do they taste delicious on their own!
