Recipe:
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sautéed mushrooms (see note)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 4-6 sub rolls
For the Mushroom Sauté:
- 2 cups mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, sautéed mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Use your hands to shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the meatballs for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, sauté the mushrooms in butter until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
- To assemble the subs, place a few meatballs on each sub roll, followed by a spoonful of marinara sauce, and a spoonful of sautéed mushrooms.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese (optional) and place under the broiler for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Note: To sauté the mushrooms, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
