Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
2
Use your hands to shape the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
3
While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
4
To assemble the sandwiches, slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise. Place a few meatballs on each bread half, followed by a spoonful of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Place the bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
