This Quick and Easy Meatball Sub Recipe is…
- Ready in 10 Minutes
- 5 Ingredients
- Budget Friendly
- Kid Friendly
What Type of Meatballs Do I Use?
It’s up to you! You can use homemade meatballs or pre-made. Just make sure the meatballs are fully cooked. Then, move forward with assembling the sandwiches and putting them into the oven.
Ingredients Needed
- Meatballs – I bought 10 oz. of Frozen or Refrigerated fully-cooked Italian Meatballs. I ended up using 20 in total.
- Marinara Sauce – Make sure you leave some extra for dipping!
- Cheese – I went for Provolone and Mozzarella Cheese.
- Parmesan – You can use shredded or grated, whatever your preference is.
- Hoagie Rolls
How to Make Quick and Easy Meatball Subs
Full Directions for this recipe are located on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. This is a visual walk-through for readers.
First, preheat the oven as directed on the recipe card. Next, in a bowl, mix your pre-cooked meatballs with marinara sauce. Make sure each meatball is nicely coated.
Slice your hoagies in half. On one side, add a few meatballs and some sauce. You can add as many as you want depending on the size of hoagie rolls you are using.
Next, pile on the cheese! I added a good amount of cheese so that it will melt down and create the perfect sub.
Bake as directed. Once done, top with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!
What to Serve With Meatball Subs
- Chips
- Fresh Veggies
- French Fries
- Etc.
What Type of Bread Do I Use?
For this recipe, I opted for a classic Hoagie Roll. You are welcome to use any roll that you can slice open. If you would like to transform this into slider buns, feel free. Use just one meatball per slider roll.
Another option would be to use store bought garlic bread. This would add a change to the flavor of the subs. I’m sure this would be delicious!
Storing Leftovers
You should store the meatballs in a container on their own. Keep the bread plain until ready to assemble and heat up.
