Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- Black olives, sliced (for mummy eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and egg until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs (about 8-10 meatballs) and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a pot over medium heat.
- Cut the hoagie rolls in half, but not all the way through, creating a “boat” for the meatballs.
- Place two meatballs on each roll, then pour marinara sauce over the top.
- Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each sandwich, covering the meatballs. Use black olive slices to create “mummy eyes” on top of the cheese.
- Return the sandwiches to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy your spooky, delicious Mummy Meatball Subs!
Notes
- You can use store-bought meatballs if you’re short on time, but homemade adds a special touch.
- For a milder version, reduce or omit the garlic powder.
- If you want to make these even spookier, add some “bandages” by draping strips of mozzarella cheese over the meatballs before baking.
