# Steps To Make It:

Combine minced beef, pork, egg, chopped onion, grated Parmesan, crushed garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss in the wrung-out bread and mix everything well.
02 -
Warm up your oven to 350°F. Coat a baking tray with oil or put down some baking paper.
03 -
With oiled hands and an ice cream scoop, roll out 1-inch balls. Arrange them on your tray near each other but not touching.
04 -
Pop the meatballs in the oven for 20-22 minutes till they're fully done.
05 -
Cut your submarine rolls along the top but don't slice all the way through. Put them in a baking pan.
06 -
Ladle tomato sauce and sprinkle Parmesan on the bottom half of each roll. Place 4-5 meatballs in each sub, cover with extra sauce and pile on Mozzarella.
07 -
Dust with oregano and bake at 350°F for 15-17 minutes until cheese gets bubbly. Allow an extra 5 minutes if your stuff was in the fridge.

They're great for gatherings when cut into bite-sized pieces.

You can make twice as much to get 6 whole subs.
