Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, until they’re browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the meatballs are done, add them to the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cut the mini sub rolls and lightly toast them if desired.
Spoon 2-3 meatballs into each sub roll and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the subs under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can use store-bought or homemade marinara sauce.
Feel free to add some fresh basil or parsley for extra flavor.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
