Method

In a bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, grated onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until just combined.
Shape the mixture into 8 to 10 small meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides for 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce, water, and oregano, then cover and simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
Split the rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through and warm them briefly in the oven or toaster oven.
Place the meatballs into the rolls, spoon over a little sauce, top with mozzarella, and return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
