Instructions

For The Meatballs

Start by combining ground beef (1/2 pound) and sweet Italian sausage (½ pound) in a large mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs (1 cup), grated Parmesan (1 cup), chopped parsley (½ cup), egg (1), and grated red onion (½ onion). Finish with a pinch of salt.
Roll the meat mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking tray with olive oil and then place the meatballs on the tray. Cook the meatballs for 10-12 minutes. Put the meatballs in a sauce pan and pour in the marinara sauce (16 ounces). Heat to a simmer.

For The Garlic Spread

Melt butter (6 tbsp) and add olive oil (1 tbsp) and roasted garlic (1 tbsp). Spread the garlic butter into the roll halves.

Assemble The Sandwich

Gently open the sub roll and lay down 4 slices of provolone. Put the meatballs with the marinara sauce on top of the provolone. Cover the meatballs with a layer of provolone cheese (4 slices) and then pepperoni (4 slices). Italian seasonings (pinch) and grated Parmesan (pinch). Put the meatball sandwich under the broiler until the provolone cheese has melted, and the pepperoni have crisped, about 3 minutes.
