Meatball Sandwiches

1 lb lean ground beef
3/4 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
3 tsp minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried parsley
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
water, if needed

Hoagie Rolls (or whatever kind of bread/rolls you like)
1 (26 oz) jar spaghetti sauce, heated
Sliced provolone cheese

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
 
In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground beef by hand. Add bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, egg, and pepper, adding a few tbsp of water if you need to moisten to get the right consistency. Continue mixing until proper consistency is reached. Shape into 20-24, one-inch meatballs, and place on a cookie sheet. (Next time I make them, I will smush them down a bit before baking so they will fit in the hoagie roll better.)

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through.

In a large bowl, warm the spaghetti sauce. When the meatballs are done, transfer them to the sauce.
Spoon meatballs and desired amount of sauce into the hoagie rolls, top with slices of provolone cheese, and enjoy.

Optional: Stick open sandwiches in a toaster oven or under a broiler for 1 - 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
