Meatball Subs

These subs are delicious with my homemade Mac and Cheese.

Meatballs:

1 pound lean ground beef

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce:

1 lb. jar Passata tomato sauce (tomato puree) *I found Passata sauce in my grocery store.

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Sandwiches:

Mozzarella cheese slices

Hoagie rolls

Instructions:

Mix meatball ingredients together in a bowl until combined.  Shape into 1" balls and place them on a plate.

Add some oil to a skillet, add meatballs, and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning halfway through. 

In a small bowl mix the sauce ingredients together.  

Add sauce to the skillet covering all of the meatballs with sauce.  Cover and simmer until cooked through.

Preheat the broiler in the oven.

Slice hoagie rolls in half and add the meatball and sauce mixture.  Top with mozzarella cheese.

Place the filled hoagie rolls open-faced on a baking sheet several inches away from the broiler element.  Broil for 2 - 3 minutes until the cheese is melted.  Watch carefully.

*Add sauteed onion to the meatballs and/or sauce if desired.
