Cast Iron Meatball Marinara Sub
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 pound package of ground sweet Italian Sausage
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of Italian style bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon of milk
- 1 tablespoon of dry oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dry sweet basil
- 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix and assemble meatballs by combining the meat, egg, bread crumbs and spices. I made use of an ice cream scooper to make them all the same size.
- Place the meatballs in a pre-heated cast iron skillet brown on each side for about 10 minutes on medium-high heat.
- Once browned on both sides, drain any oil, pour your marinara sauce directly in the cast iron skillet over the meatballs.
- Bake with the bread at 400 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes. For the last 5 minutes, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese in the skillet.
