Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Meatballs

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, milk, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well blended.

  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 20-24 total).

2. Bake the Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until fully cooked.

3. Assemble the Boats

  • Slice sub rolls lengthwise (like a hot dog bun) and lightly hollow out the center to make room for the meatballs.

  • Spread marinara sauce on both sides of each roll.

  • Arrange 5-6 meatballs in each roll, then top with shredded mozzarella and any extra toppings.

4. Melt & Serve

  • Return the boats to the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  • Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

🍽 Pair with: A crisp green salad, garlic bread, or roasted veggies.
🔥 Spice it up: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of spicy marinara.
🧀 Extra cheesy? Sprinkle with extra Parmesan before baking.
