You will need:

  • 500 g beef mince
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1½ cups passata
  • Salt and black pepper, to season
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 4 hotdog rolls, split
  • ½ cup grated cheese
  • ¼ cup loosely packed basil leaves, finely chopped

Let's Make It:

Step 1:

In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan cheese, garlic and onion powder and mix well to combine. Form into 1 tbsp round meatballs (you should get around 20-22).

Step 2:

Place the meatballs into a 22 cm square baking dish and place into the Sunbeam air fryer. Cook at 200°C for 10 minutes. While the meatballs are baking, in a jug, combine the passata with a generous pinch of salt, pepper and the sugar (if using) and mix well to combine.

Step 3:

Pour the seasoned passata over the meatballs and cook for a further 10 minutes at 200°C. Remove the meatballs from the air fryer, then place the split bread rolls into the air fryer and cook for 2 minutes at 200˚C. Remove the rolls from the air fryer and spoon in the meatballs. Sprinkle with grated cheese, then air fry for a further 3 minutes at 200°C.

Step 4:

Divide the meatball subs with cheese between plates and sprinkle with finely chopped basil, then serve immediately.
