Cheesy Meatball Sub Delight
Directions
9 STEPS
1
Preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, 1/4 cup of shredded Italian cheese blend, egg, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3
Shape beef mixture into 1 1/2-inch diameter meatballs, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet 1/2-inch apart.
4
Bake meatballs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5
In a large saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat. Add the cooked meatballs into the sauce, stirring gently to coat each meatball.
6
Place halved French baguettes on a baking sheet, cut side up.
7
Spoon meatballs and marinara sauce mixture onto the lower halves of the baguettes. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the meatball and sauce layer.
8
Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the upper halves of the baguettes are crispy.
9
Top with remaining parsley and serve immediately.
