Ingredients

MEATBALLS

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoons black pepper
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into ½ in cubes

BUTTERED ROLLS

  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 16 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, combine milk and breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
  • Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
  • Form into desired size meatball, greasing hands before starting to keep the meat from sticking, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Press your thumb into the meatball to create a well. Place a cube of cheese into the well and mold the meat over the ball. Roll in the palms of your hands to form an even ball, place on the parchment-lined baking pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast until the outsides are browned and they read 165°F on a meat thermometer (about 25 minutes).
  • While the meatballs are cooking, combine the butter, garlic salt, and parsley in a small bowl. Brush the butter mixture all over each hoagie bun.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven and set aside.
  • Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on each buttered hoagie bun. Add 3-4 meatballs on top of the cheese. Top with marinara sauce and 2 more slices of provolone cheese.
  • Place sandwiches on a foil lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
  • Increase oven temperature to broil.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly and the crust browns.
  • Serve with additional sauce for dipping.
