Pizza Meatball Subs


Yummo, pizza meatball subs. These are always a hit and rarely are there leftovers. They're quick and easy and would be great for dinner or a potluck. Because I have a few who rarely eat sandwiches, I also made spaghetti noodles so that everyone could decide which they wanted, subs or pasta.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 egg
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1-2 tbs ketchup
Salt and pepper, to taste
Dash of Italian seasoning
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4- inch cubes
Spaghetti Sauce
Hoagie rolls, split

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. In a large bowl add ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Shape into 1-inch balls. Push in to the mixture a cube of cheese. Reshape the meatball. Place onto lined baking sheet. Do this until all of the meatballs have been formed. Bake in the oven until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Split hoagie rolls, lengthwise, add 3-4 meatballs, depending on size of roll, cover with a layer of your favorite spaghetti sauce, and enjoy.

If you'd like, you can also use these meatballs in your favorite spaghetti sauce and cover spaghetti noodles.
