Meatball Sandwich

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, and Italian seasoning; mix with your hands until well combined. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs; place them in a baking dish.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

4. 4

   Meanwhile, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and open it like a book. Remove and discard some of the bread from the inside to create a well for the meatballs.

5. 5

   Brush the baguette with olive oil; season with garlic powder and salt. Place the baguette on a baking sheet, opened, oiled sides up.

6. 6

   When the meatballs have 5 minutes of cooking time left, place the baguette in the oven until lightly toasted.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.

8. 8

   Remove the meatballs from the oven. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to the sauce; stir gently to coat them with the sauce.

9. 9

   Spoon the meatballs and sauce into one side of the baguette, nestling the meatballs in the well; top with provolone cheese.

10. 10

    Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

11. 11

    Let cool slightly, then cut into 4 sandwiches.
