Meatball Sub
Description
This simple Meatball Sub recipe uses precooked meatballs heated in spaghetti sauce on the stovetop to infuse them with moisture and flavor. The sauce-coated meatballs are placed inside buns, covered in shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Broiling the assembled subs quickly melts the cheese and browns the buns’ tops, adding a toasted texture contrast to the gooey interior. The sandwich combines savory tomato sauce with melted cheeses and tender meat in a convenient handheld format.
This sub is ideal for a casual dinner or game-day meal. The instructions emphasize careful broiler watching to prevent burning, as cheese can go from melted to burnt rapidly.
Ingredients
- 6 Buns
- 1 lb precooked frozen meatballs, thawed
- 1 spaghetti sauce jar
- 2 c. mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 c. Parmesan Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Put meatballs in a saucepan and cover with spaghetti sauce. Cook until the meatballs are heated all the way through.
- Place 5-6 meatballs in each bun. Cover with spaghetti sauce. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Place on baking sheet.
- Turn broiler on. I set mine to high. Let warm up about 5 minutes. Place baking sheet with subs in oven on top rack. Broil until the cheese is melted all the way through and bun is starting to brown. Watch carefully as it will go from melting to burnt in a few seconds!
