Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
½ lb ground Italian sausage
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup marinara sauce
4 Italian hoagie rolls
1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
2 tbsp butter (for toasting)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Combine beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Shape into 1½-inch meatballs and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Simmer meatballs in marinara for 10 minutes.
5. Toast hoagie rolls with butter until golden.

Notes
Use a mix of beef and pork for rich flavor. Toasting rolls helps prevent sogginess. You can freeze extra meatballs up to 3 months.
