Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Make the meatballs: In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form into 1.5-inch balls.
Cook the meatballs: Place meatballs on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Simmer in sauce: Heat marinara sauce in a skillet, add the meatballs, and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
Assemble subs: Slice the rolls open, add 3–4 meatballs to each, spoon sauce over, top with mozzarella.
Bake until melty: Place subs on a baking tray and bake for 5–7 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped basil or parsley.
