Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Breadcrumbs: Using plain breadcrumbs helps bind the meatballs together perfectly.
• Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan adds a nutty flavor that elevates your meatballs.
• Fresh Parsley: Chopped parsley brings brightness and freshness to your subs.
• Eggs: Eggs act as a binder; use medium-sized eggs for best results.
• Marinara Sauce: Opt for a homemade or store-bought sauce with no added sugars for health-conscious eating.
• Sub Rolls: Look for fresh, crusty rolls that can hold all the goodness without falling apart.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground halal beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and eggs. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing for tender meatballs.

Scoop and Shape the Meatballs: Use your hands to form small balls about 1 inch in diameter. You should have around 20-24 delightful meatballs ready to cook.

Sear the Meatballs: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the meatballs until browned on all sides but not fully cooked—about 5 minutes is perfect.

Add Marinara Sauce: Pour your favorite marinara sauce over the partially cooked meatballs in the skillet. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked through.

Toast the Sub Rolls: While the meatballs simmer away in their flavorful bath, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the sub rolls and toast them lightly on a baking sheet until golden brown.

Assemble Your Delicious Subs: Once everything is ready, place several meatballs into each toasted roll and generously spoon additional marinara sauce over them. Top with more grated Parmesan if desired!

You’re now ready to enjoy these tasty creations! Each bite delivers that heavenly blend of hearty flavors and textures that will keep you coming back for more.

Making these Halal Meatball Subs with Marinara Sauce isn’t just about satisfying hunger; it’s about creating memorable experiences shared with loved ones around the dinner table. So go ahead—dive into this scrumptious adventure!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by baking the meatballs while simmering the marinara sauce on low. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully while ensuring everything cooks perfectly.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out herbs for fresh basil or oregano instead of dried. You could even add some sautéed bell peppers for extra crunch and flavor.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover meatball subs in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, wrap in foil and bake at 350°F until warmed through, about 15 minutes.

I remember the first time I made halal meatball subs for my friends; they were gone in minutes! Their compliments made my day and turned me into the neighborhood sandwich guru.

FAQ

Hoagie rolls or crusty baguettes hold up nicely against saucy fillings without falling apart.
