Ingredients
- 16 meatballs
- 4 Hoagie buns
- 3 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 8 lices Provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Take the frozen meatballs out of the freezer and place on a baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake meatballs in preheated oven for 20-23 minutes or no longer pink inside. Remove from oven.
- Turn oven to broil and allow to preheat.
- Slice open hoagie buns and open them up. Spread a thin amount of softened butter on the insides of each open bun.
- Place open buns on a baking sheet, add into oven and broil until golden and toasted, about 1-2 minutes
- Add 3-4 cooked meatballs to each sub sandwich
- Spoon marinara sauce on top of each meatball (at least 1 tbsp per meatball)
- Cut slices of provolone cheese in halves or strips to fit sandwiches. Place them on top of marinara sauce.
- Place again into oven and broil a few minutes longer until cheese is melted. Watch it closely so you don't burn your sandwich. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Notes
- Here's How to Make-Ahead Meatball Subs For Camping
- Best Bread to Use:
- It’s worth the extra effort to find yourself some good-quality hoagie or sub rolls. I look in the bakery sections of grocery stores to find ones that feel a little more artisan when I'm entertaining. But when it's just for my kids, any hoagie buns will do.
- Make ahead & freeze meatballs in a gallon freezer bag. Pack them into your cooler - they should be mostl thawed before you cook them over the fire.
- Prepare the fire. Burn the fire down so that you have a nice 1-2 inch layer of hot & ready white coals. If you are using briquettes, light them and wait about 10 minutes until they are not flaming and starting to turn white.
- Place meatballs on a roasting stick or a skewer and roast them.
- Toast your buns, add the cooked meatballs then spoon on the marinara sauce. Top with cheese then wrap sandwich in aluminum foil.
- Place in the bottom of the fire for about 5 minutes or until warmed up. Then open and serve.
