Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 loaf of French baguette or Italian bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)
8 oz mozzarella cheese (cut into cubes or use string cheese)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Wooden skewers (about 6-8)
Instructions
- Make the Meatballs: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, milk, and parsley. Mix until just combined. Roll into small meatballs, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Assemble the Subs on a Stick: Once the meatballs are cooked, thread one piece of bread onto each skewer, followed by a meatball, a piece of mozzarella cheese, and another piece of bread. Continue this pattern, leaving space at the top for easier handling. Repeat for all skewers.
- Finish and Serve: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan and cook the skewers for 3-4 minutes, rotating to get golden bread and melt the cheese. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Try using different cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or pepper jack for variety.
Add sautéed bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
Brush the bread with garlic butter before grilling for a tasty finish.
Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
