5 cloves garlic, minced to equal 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup 2 percent milk
2 slices sourdough bread, crust removed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces to equal 1 cup
1 pound ground beef (80/20 fat content)
1 pound ground pork sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano leaves
2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley leaves
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons red chili flakes
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan plus 2 tablespoons shredded, for garnish
1 egg, beaten
4 hoagie rolls
1 cup Marinara Sauce, recipe follows
12 slices mozzarella, about 3/4 pound
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, minced
4 medium garlic cloves, smashed
6 cups canned San Marzano tomatoes
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh oregano leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and saute onions, bell peppers and garlic. After 2 minutes, add salt and cook until tender. Remove from pan and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, pour milk over bread crumbs and let soak for 5 minutes. Remove from milk and squeeze out excess milk, until bread is moist but not soggy. In a large bowl, mix together beef, pork sausage, soaked bread, cooled vegetables, basil, oregano, parsley, pepper, chili flakes, grated Parmesan and egg. Gently roll into 2-inch balls.
  • In same large saute pan used for vegetables, heat over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Cook meatballs, browning completely until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, using an instant-read thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, remove inside dough from hoagie rolls. To assemble heroes, fill hoagies with 4 meatballs each. Drizzle with 1/4 cup Marinara Sauce and top with 3 slices of mozzarella cheese. Place heroes on a sheet pan under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. Top each sandwich with 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan.
  • In medium saucepan, heat olive oil, add onions and cook over medium to low heat until onions are transparent. Add garlic and cook until almost brown and then add tomatoes. Cook for 1/2 hour over low to medium heat, then add basil and oregano and continue to cook for 30 minutes longer. In a food mill or a blender, puree into a sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients to ensure smooth cooking.
  • Choose Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the dish's flavor and texture.
  • Use Cast Iron Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet provides even heat distribution and a crispy crust.
  • Cook Meat in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
  • Sear Meat Properly: Sear the meat over high heat to create a flavorful crust and lock in juices.
  • Deglaze the Pan: After removing the meat, deglaze the pan with a liquid (such as wine or broth) to dissolve browned bits and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Simmer Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for a while to develop a rich and complex flavor.
  • Cook Noodles According to Package Instructions: Follow the instructions on the pasta package to ensure proper cooking.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Add fresh herbs, grated cheese, or toasted nuts to enhance the dish's visual appeal and flavor.
