Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce:
- 2 crushed tomatoes 24 oz, in cans

For the Sandwiches:
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese sliced
- hoagie buns
Instructions
- Add beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian Seasoning, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until combined.
- Form into 1 or 2 inch meatballs. I made 20, but you could easily make 24. Brown each meatball in a skillet or in your Ninja crock pot. Then place in the crock pot.
- Pour the 2 cans of crushed tomatoes over the Meatballs. Add to the crock pot the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and fresh parsley.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
- Place 3 meatballs on a hoagie bun. Spoon over the hoagie bun and top with the mozzarella cheese and enjoy!
