Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup marinara sauce

4 sub rolls

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped parsley. Mix everything together until well combined.

Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should get around 12-15 meatballs.

Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.

2. Assemble the Subs:

Once the meatballs are cooked, split open the sub rolls and place 3-4 meatballs inside each roll.

Spoon marinara sauce over the meatballs, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

3. Bake:

Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

4. Serve:

Remove the subs from the oven and serve them warm. Enjoy the delicious combination of bacon, mac ‘n’ cheese flavors, and juicy meatballs!

Recipe Tips:

Extra Bacon Flavor: For even more bacon flavor, spread some bacon grease on the sub rolls before adding the meatballs.

Custom Toppings: Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or even jalapeños to your sub for extra flavor.

Make-Ahead: You can make the meatballs in advance and reheat them when ready to assemble the subs.
