INGREDIENTS 

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3/4 cup bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 French baguette
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch salt, or to taste
• 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 4 slices provolone cheese
  

PROCEDURES 

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
• We now shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
• Then bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. 
• Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs.
• Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt.
• Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted.
• While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce.


• Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese.
• Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. 
• Cool slightly,and serve.
