Crack 1 egg in large bowl. Throw away shells and wash your hands. Whisk until smooth.

Portion 12 meatballs, about 1 ½ inches each. Set on plate.

Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in pot over medium-high. Use tongs to add meatballs. Sear without stirring for 3 minutes.

Add 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Cut 1 loaf French bread in half lengthwise with serrated knife. Set on foil-lined baking sheet.

Smash and peel 2 cloves garlic. Mince and add to small microwave-safe bowl.

Add 6 Tbsp butter and 1 tsp Italian seasoning to garlic. Heat until melted, 30-60 seconds.

Brush garlic butter over both pieces of bread.

Bake 4-5 minutes, until edges are very lightly browned.

Scoop meatballs onto bottom half of bread. Spoon just enough sauce to cover. Lay 6 slices provolone cheese on top.

Return hot pan to oven. Bake until cheese melts, 4-5 min. Build sandwich. Slice to serve. TASTE & SHARE!

Recipe Notes

  • If you think you will have too much sandwich, use small hoagie rolls and make just enough to feed your family. Save any leftover meatballs in a separate container from rolls, and assemble starting at step 11 when ready to enjoy again!

  • Scoop meat using an ice cream scooper and just let balls be a little lumpy. They still taste delicious and will be much quicker to make!

  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs, such as Kroger, Good & Gather, or Schar. Use a gluten-free baguette, such as Udi’s, Schar, or Against The Grain.

  • Egg-Free: Replace egg with 1 flax egg.

  • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free Parmesan, such as Go! Veggie or Follow Your Heart. Use dairy-free butter, such as Melt or Earth Balance. Use dairy-free provolone, such as Follow Your Heart or Daiya.

  • Vegetarian: Replace ground beef with plant-based beef, such as Sweet Earth or Beyond Beef.
