Ingredients
Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, half of the parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they bind together.
- Roll the mixture into meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs and sear until they're browned on all sides.
- Once browned, pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs and let them simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Slice the sub rolls open but ensure they're still hinged on one side.
- Place the cooked meatballs onto the sub rolls. Drizzle extra marinara sauce over them if you like.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Transfer the subs to a baking tray and pop them into the oven.
- Bake until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden brown.
- Sprinkle the remaining parsley on top for garnish.
Notes
1. Opt for lean ground beef for a healthier option.
2. If you're looking to boost the protein content even more, consider adding in some grilled chicken strips.
3. Toasting the sub rolls before adding the ingredients can add an extra crunch to your High Protein Cheesy Meatball Sub.
