Instructions
To make the meatballs:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Add the ground beef, pork, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, onion, and egg to a large mixing bowl and combine well with your hands. Do not overmix.
- Separate the mixture into 12 equal sized chunks and roll into meatballs.
- Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
To make the sauce:
- Add all of the sauce ingredients to a 6 quart slow cooker and stir well to combine.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and place in the slow cooker with the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
To make the subs:
- Open the hoagie rolls and butter the insides of each roll.
- Sprinkle evenly with the garlic salt, about ½ teaspoon per roll or to taste.
- Place opened hoagie rolls on a large baking sheet under the broiler and broil until as toasted as you’d like. Keep a close eye on the bread as it will go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
- Remove the bread from the oven and add meatballs to the bread. Top with a spoonful of sauce.
- Top each sandwich with 2 slices of fresh mozzarella and a sprinkling of parsley.
- Return to the broiler for 1 minute to let the cheese soften.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Add more red pepper flakes for a spicier tomato sauce.
- Use Hawaiian rolls to make meatball sliders instead of subs.
