Description

Ingredients

• 1lb hot Italian sausage
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1/4C grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2C seasoned breadcrumbs
• 24oz marinara sauce
• 4: 8-inch sub rolls
• Mozzarella slices
• Parmesan cheese, optional - for topping

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine ground sausage, salt, pepper, egg, Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon. Divide into 12 equal pieces, shaping into balls.  Preheat broiler. Prepare 4 8-inch sub rolls. Create a well in the top of each roll, large enough to hold the meatballs. Be careful to not slice through to the bottom of the rolls.   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sear meatballs on all sides. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add marinara sauce. Cover and cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and internal temperature is 160°F.  Add 2-3 slices of mozzarella to the cavity in each roll. Fill with meatballs and marinara sauce. Place on a baking sheet. Broil until cheese is fully melted and bread is lightly charred.  Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
