Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, milk, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and finely chopped fresh parsley until well combined.
Step 2
Add the ground chuck and Italian sausage and mix by hand until just combined. Try not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into 16 evenly sized portions.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the marinara sauce, and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
When the meatballs are almost done, slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise. Remove some of the bread from the inside, creating a well for the meatballs to sit.
Step 5
Spread the butter evenly over the cut sides. Place the rolls cut-side up on a baking tray and broil for 2-3 minutes until golden and warm.
Step 6
Divide the cheese slices between each piece of bread and broil again to melt. There should be 2 halves of Provolone on each piece (top and bottom).
Step 7
When the meatballs are cooked, divide them between the 4 bottom halves of the rolls. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and spoon extra sauce over the top. Then, gently place the top halves of the rolls over the meatballs and serve with the leftover sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
