Italian Meatball Subs

Adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.
Makes 4-6 servings

Meatballs:
1 cup breadcrumbs
3/4 cup shredded parmesan or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup fresh parsley or 2 tbs dried parsley
2 eggs lightly beaten
1.5 tablespoons oregano
3 cloves minced garlic
1.5 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds ground beef

In a large bowl mix all ingredients except the ground beef. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Mix in ground beef. Form into shape of meatballs. Dredge meatballs in flour and then bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve on french bread with your favorite red sauce with cheese melted on top.

These meatballs freeze great. Also, I have found that the meatballs taste better if you form them in the morning, place in refrigerator, and then bake later in the day.
