Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb lean ground beef
  • 36 cubes mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 2/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 onion (shredded)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp dried basil
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 tube store-bought pizza dough
  • 12 wooden skewers
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 4 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp parsley (fresh chopped or dried)
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. If you're using an air fryer, set it to the same temperature. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large deep bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients. Mix until just evenly combined to avoid tough meatballs.
  3. Shape the mixture into 36 meatballs. Press one cube of mozzarella cheese into each meatball and roll firmly to seal it inside.
  4. If using store-bought pizza dough from a tube, unroll it and cut into 12 long strips. If using a ball of dough, roll it out into a large rectangle before cutting.
  5. Insert a skewer through one end of a dough strip and then through a meatball. Wrap the dough around the top of the meatball and slide it down the skewer. Repeat this process with two more meatballs. Ensure there’s about 1/4” space between each item on the skewer.
  6. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.
  7. Place skewers on the lined baking sheet. Brush half of the garlic butter mixture over them. Bake for 20-25 minutes until meatballs are fully cooked and dough is golden brown. If using an air fryer, cook for about 15-20 minutes under similar conditions.
  8. Once baked, brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the top.
  9. Serve your delicious Meatball Subs on a Stick hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
