Homemade Meatball Subs

Sometimes After A Long of Working You Just Want to Relax and Make Something Quick. I Came Up w/ The idea Of Meatball Subs One Night After I Realized I Didnt Have All The ingredients For Spaghetti So I Decided to improvise. I Was Missing Spaghetti Noodles & Was Too Lazy to Go Purchase Some. I Noticed I Had Some Leftover Hoagie Bread From When I Made Philly Cheese-Steaks and Thought Hmmm I Can Make Subs!

• 1 Pound Ground Meat of Your Choice
• 1/2 Onion
• 1 Egg
• Bread Crumbs
• Hoagie Bread
• 1 Can Spaghetti Sauce
• 1 Can Tomato Paste
• Sliced or Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

With Meatballs There is No One Way to Make Them and You Can Use The Meat of Your Choice. Weather its Ground Beef, Turkey, or Chicken; The Possibilities Are Endless! This Particular Time I Chose to Use Ground Beef. I Diced Half An Onion & Mixed it into My Ground Beef. To Flavor My Meat I Used Garlic Powder, Creole Season, & Italian Herb Seasoning. I Also Added 1 Egg & A Handful of Breadcrumbs to Make Everything Stick Together. One Everything Was Evenly Mixed I Took A Spoonful Of Meat and Rolled it into Perfect Sized Meatballs. I Placed Them into A Medium High Pan With A Little Drizzle of Olive Oil & Cooked Them On All Sides For About 2-3 Mins Per Side Until They Were Nice And Brown. While The Meatballs Were Cooking, In A Large Pot I Combined My Spaghetti Sauce And Tomato Paste with Some Seasonings And A Spoonful Of Sugar to Cut The Acidity. Once The Meatballs Were Finished I Transferred Them to The Pot with The Sauce and Let it Simmer & Cook Down For A Few More Mins. Now When I Cook I Like To Be A Little Extra & Over the Top So i Melted Some Butter & Added Garlic Powder & Italian Seasoning and Mixed Well. I Took My Garlic Butter Mixture & Spread it Evenly inside My Hoagie Buns & Sprinkled Some Shredded Mozzarella Cheese On Top. I Placed The Hoagie Buns in The Oven & Broiled Them For A Few Mins Until it Was Nice and Toasted. After The Bread Was Slightly Cooled I Added A Few Meatballs (4-6 Per Bun) & Added Some Extra Sauce on Top. Now im A Cheesy Kind of Girl So I Added Some Sliced Mozzarella & Put it in The Oven For A Few More Mins to Melt.
