Jazz up your back-to-school lunches with these cheesy, stuffed meatballs. Simple grilled hoagie toasts add a nice smoky crunch to sop up all the deliciousness.

Serves 4

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, garlic, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper until combined. Form into 12 even balls, and flatten. Stuff with cheeses, and roll into a ball, covering the cheese completely.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, and gently sear the meatballs on all sides. Pour in marinara sauce, and cover. Cook for 10–12 minutes or until meatballs are cooked completely.
3. Preheat grill or stove top griddle to medium-high heat. Brush hoagie roll slices with oil, and grill until slightly charred.
4. Serve meatballs with toasts, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil.

Tip: If your brown bagging this fun lunch, pack the meatballs separate from the toasts to keep them from getting soggy.
