My mother-in-law taught me how to make my own. Her recipe is a full meat sauce, so when I\u2019m craving meatballs during the week, I take a shortcut and make them in my slow cooker. It\u2019s not a quick meal, but it\u2019s easy, with few ingredients and the meatballs can make several meals if you make more, like I do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ingredients<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">1 lb ground beef<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">1 large egg<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u2153 C breadcrumbs<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u00bc C parmesan cheese<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">1 Tbsp. minced garlic<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">1 Tbsp. olive oil<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">2 C marinara sauce<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">8 mini hoagie rolls<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">12 slices asiago cheese<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Instructions<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Prepare a baking pan with non-stick spray.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In a bowl, add the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, parmesan cheese and parsley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With your hands, work the ingredients together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Add salt and pepper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With the ice cream scoop, begin to form your meatballs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Set them aside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Add the oil to the skillet, heating it over medium heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Add one meatball at a time to the heated pan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cook for about 5 minutes or until seared on all sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Place the meatballs in the oven on a parchment-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Bake for 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Remove from oven and set aside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cut out an oval on top of the roll, leaving about \u00bd inch on the ends and sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Dig in but do not cut all the way to the bottom half of the roll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Use a knife to hollow out the top of the roll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Place the roll on the baking sheet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Place a slice of cheese in the hollowed out area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Return to the oven and bake for 8 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Add 2 tablespoons of marinara to the cheese.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Place 3 meatballs on top of the cheese.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Add marinara on top of the meatballs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Place grated Parmesan cheese on top of marinara.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Return to oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These spaghetti squash meatball boats are the definition of comfort food!
