Serves: 6 subs
- 1 pound Ground Beef or ground meat of your choice
- ½ cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 eggs slight beaten
- ¼ cup of milk

- Optional additions:
- 1 tsp of hot pepper flakes
- 1 tsp of garlic powder or Italian Spice Mix
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
- Combine bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, seasonings and milk in a small bowl -- let sit for about 3 to 5 minutes to allow crumbs to absorb liquids
- Combine breadcrumb mixture with ground beef mixing thoroughly. Don't overwork.
- Use a teaspoon to measure out mixture -- roll into equal size meatballs.
- Place onto cookie sheet that has sides and covered with foil.
- Pour stock, broth or water into the bottom of the pan and put into oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- When meatballs are done move them to a large sauce pan, cover with sauce and warm.
- Butter buns and if desired lightly sprinkle with garlic salt -- optionally brown lightly in a skillet
- Place open buns on a oven proof pan, fill with meatball mixture and cover with desired amount of cheese.
- Place in broiler or very hot oven for a few minutes until cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.
- Serve with a fresh salad.
