Famous Meatball Recipe

I find that having a recipe that can be made in many ways is great for prepping meals ahead of time. Take my Homemade Meatball recipe.

It can be used to make meatballs that go in a marinara sauce or they can be used in Homemade Sweedish Meatballs recipe.

Today I'm going to show you how I used my famous meatball recipe to make meatball sandwiches.

These also might be called subs, grinders or hoagies.

I'm calling them yummy goodness that you all need to try.

Yellow dish with meatballs and sauce in it. Next to the dish is an empty marinara jar. Behind that is a sheet pan with hoagie buns on it.

To start making the sandwiches I needed to make a batch of my homemade meatballs.

Since I was making the meatballs for subs, I made the size of my meatballs a little larger. I ended up with 22 meatballs but only used a total of 18.

Once the meatballs were fully cooked I drained the fat from the dish. I then added a jar of pasta sauce or you can use my Easy Marinara Sauce recipe.

Covering the baking dish with foil and placing the meatballs back into a 350℉ oven for 10 minutes.

Delicious Sandwich in the making

Sheet pan with six sub buns that re covered in butter.

One of my favorite things about getting subs at a Pizza place is that they are oven-baked and crispy.

To achieve that crispiness I covered the tops of the hoagie buns with butter placing each bun on a cookie sheet.

Then I sprinkled garlic powder and parsley flakes over the butter.

Sheet pan with the meatball subs that have provolone cheese cover them.

Adding three meatballs into each bun I then placed three thin slices of provolone cheese on top of the meatballs.

Closing the bun top as much as I could onto the meatballs.

Placed on the lower rack of a 350℉ oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

What To Serve With A Meatball Sandwich

This meatball sandwich is a meal in itself. I found that serving potato chips with this sandwich to be the perfect match.

You could make half a sandwich and then serve your favorite soup along with it.

My friend Nancy at The Mama Haven has an amazing Butternut Squash and Apple soup that would be a great complement to this meatball sub.

I love butternut squash soup and this recipe from Nancy is also a win because it can be made in the Instant Pot.
