Ingredients
Instructions
Combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
Form 24 uniform meatballs, about 1½ inches in diameter, using wet hands to prevent sticking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides for 4-5 minutes without cooking through completely.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add marinara sauce, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until meatballs reach 160°F internally.
For frozen meatballs, simmer in marinara sauce over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, stirring halfway, until heated through and 165°F internally.
Preheat broiler. Arrange buns on a baking sheet close together but not touching.
Add 3 meatballs to each bun, spoon extra sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella (about 3 tablespoons per sandwich).
Broil sandwiches 2 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown. Let rest 1-2 minutes before serving.
