  • Main Ingredients

    • 🥩 1 pound ground beef
    • ¾ cup bread crumbs
    • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 🧀 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
    • 🥖 1 French baguette
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix and shape into 12 meatballs. Place in a baking dish.

3

Bake meatballs in the oven until cooked through (15–20 minutes). Ensure internal temperature is at least 160°F (71°C).

4

Cut baguette in half lengthwise, remove some interior bread to create a well. Brush with olive oil, season with garlic powder and salt.

5

Place baguette on baking tray. When meatballs have 5 minutes left, bake the baguette until lightly toasted.

6

Warm spaghetti sauce over medium heat in a saucepan.

7

Remove cooked meatballs and transfer them to the saucepan with the warm spaghetti sauce. Coat gently with sauce.

8

Spoon meatballs and sauce into the baguette. Top with slices of provolone cheese.

9

Return the sandwich to the oven and bake until cheese is melted (2–3 minutes).

10

Cool slightly, slice into 4 pieces, and serve.
