Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground beef

• 2 cloves garlic minced

• 4 sub rolls

Ground beef is the real MVP here. It forms the rich, juicy meatballs that are the subs’ soul. The breadcrumbs and egg bind the meatballs, while the garlic and parmesan add a nutty, aromatic flavor. The marinara sauce adds a tangy twist, while the provolone cheese melts to creamy perfection. Sub rolls of course, are the cozy home for our meatballs.

How To Make The Godfather Meatball Sub

1. Preheat your oven to 375��F. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and egg. Once mixed, form the mixture into meatballs (gray-golf ball sized).
2. Spread the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
3. While the meatballs bake, heat your marinara sauce in a pan. Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and let them sink in that tanginess.
4. Slice your sub rolls, but do not cut all the way through. Lay two slices of provolone on each roll, and broil until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
5. Add your saucy meatballs to your crispy rolls, serve hot and enjoy!
