I really wanted to name these sandwiches “Meatball Boats”, so I did…I have no idea why I thought of that. Maybe it is because I sit here and research recipes daily and I see so many names for so many of the same recipes. A fun, hearty dinner option to add to the weeknight dinner rotation. This recipe features our All Natural Cooked Perfect Beef Meatballs smothered with your favorite marinara sauce.

Ingredients

12 slices Provolone
4 Hoagie rolls
2 cups Marinara sauce
1 tbsp. Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 tbsp. Chopped parsley
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Breadcrumbs
1 Large egg
1 pound Ground beef

Method

01

Preheat oven to 375℉.
02

In a large bowl, combine ground beef with egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 12 evenly sized balls.
03

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook meatballs until they are seared on all sides, about 4 minutes. Then add marinara sauce and cover with a lid. Cook until meatballs are no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes more.
04

Hollow the top of your hoagie roll out to make a boat. Lay three slices of provolone over the roll to cover the hollowed out area and bake for 5 minutes, until melted. Then place four meatballs on top of the cheese in a row. Place in the oven and bake 6-8 minutes more. Broil if desired.
05

Top with additional parmesan and parsley if desired and serve.
