Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 whole sub rolls
- 2 leaves lettuce
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined, about 1 minute.
- 2
Roll the mixture into 8 equal meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate.
- 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. The meatballs should feel firm and reach 160°F internally.
- 4
While the meatballs cook, split the 2 sub rolls and toast them in a toaster or under the broiler until golden, about 2 minutes.
- 5
Place 4 meatballs in each toasted roll. Top with 1 lettuce leaf per sandwich and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
