Meat (loaf) Subs!

It was another hit in this household last night with the meatloaf subs. Its a take on a classic meatball sub just meatloaf-esq so when you bite into it you get the perfect ratio of meat, bread, cheese and sauce!

Hubs L.O.V.E.D it despite the fact that he hates (though he has never tried) meatloaf. I just didn't mention it to him until he was done eating. Sucka!

Ingridents:

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup marinara sauce
3 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise


Directions:

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

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper, garlic powder, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Form the mixture into a log, and place it into an 8x8 inch baking dish.

3. Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the center is no longer pink.

4. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/2 inch slices. Place a few slices onto each hoagie roll, cover with marinara sauce, and sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over.

5. Wrap each sandwich with aluminum foil, and return to the oven for 15 minutes, until bread is lightly toasted and cheese is melted. Let stand 15 minutes before eating. Each sandwich serves 2.

My Dish on the Dish~

Bake the bread a little before you put ingredients in it and toast it again. This way it is slightly toasted and will not be soggy from the sauce.

After taking them out of the oven and unwrapping them I realized that it may be nicer to put a slice of mozzarella cheese on top as opposed to shredded. Just my opinion!
