Meatball Subs
Description
The recipe begins with mixing ground beef with egg, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper to form meatballs, which are baked until cooked through. The meatballs are then simmered in pasta sauce to absorb flavor. Hoagie rolls are spread with garlic butter and broiled to achieve a golden, toasted surface.
The cooked meatballs are loaded into the warm rolls, topped with a spoonful of sauce and shredded Italian cheese blend, then briefly broiled again to melt the cheese. This creates a sandwich with contrast from the tender meatballs, tangy sauce, melted cheese, and crispy bread edges.
The subs can be served with extra sauce for dipping if desired, making this an adaptable and hearty meal choice. Using frozen meatballs is an option for convenience, following cooking instructions on the package.
