Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound Ground Chuck Or Ground Beef
1/2 cup Panko Or Other Bread Crumbs
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 cup Milk
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 whole Medium Onion, Diced
1 jar (large) Marinara Sauce
12 whole Dinner Rolls (or Slider Rolls)
4 slices Provolone Cheese, Cut Into Four Wedges Each

Steps:

Mix meat with bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and milk. Knead together with hands. Roll into heaping tablespoon-sized rolls. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for one minute. Add meatballs between the onions and brown for one minute. (You might have to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your skillet.)

Tips:

Use a food processor to make quick work of chopping the onion and garlic.
If you don't have bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting and then grinding some bread in a food processor.
Be sure to season the meatballs well. You can use your favorite Italian seasoning blend, or simply salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook the meatballs thoroughly. They should be cooked through, but not overcooked, or they will be dry.
Use a good quality marinara sauce. You can use your own homemade sauce, or a store-bought sauce that you like.
Toast the hoagie rolls before assembling the sandwiches. This will help them to hold up better and make them more flavorful.
Add your favorite toppings to the sandwiches. Some popular choices include cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
