Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
• Roll the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and place on a plate.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil and brown the meatballs on all sides for 6-8 minutes.
• In the same skillet, add marinara sauce and bring to a gentle simmer, then add browned meatballs to coat well for about 5 minutes.
• Slice garlic bread rolls in half horizontally and prepare for assembly.
• Assemble by placing a slice of mozzarella on each roll, add a meatball, then spoon marinara, followed by another mozzarella slice.
• Bake the assembled rolls on a baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves, serve hot with extra marinara for dipping.
