- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl combine ground beef, egg, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and parmesan cheese. Mix well using your hands. Form the mixture into meatballs that are about the size of a golf ball. Place onto a lightly greased baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F. Remove from the oven. Slice the meatballs in half.
- Pour the pasta sauce into a medium saucepan, add the sliced meatballs and cook over medium-high heat until the sauce has become warm.
- Spread butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Top each bread slice with 1 slice of mozzarella cheese and some of the slice meatballs, cut side down. Top the meatballs with another slice of mozzarella cheese. Top with the remaining bread slice.
- Heat a large skillet to medium-low heat. Place sandwiches into the skillet butter side down. Spread butter on the top of each sandwich. Cook over medium-low heat for about 6-8 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Turn the sandwiches and cook for 5-6 minutes longer or golden brown and the cheese has melted.
