Description
Warm, cheesy meatball subs loaded with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella — the ultimate comfort sandwich that’s ready in minutes! Perfect for a quick dinner or satisfying lunch, these subs combine savory meatballs, rich marinara, and gooey cheese on soft sub rolls for a classic American-Italian treat.
Ingredients
Meatballs and Sauce
- 12 cooked meatballs (fresh or frozen)
- 1½ cups marinara sauce
Sub Assembly
- 4 sub rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Heat the Meatballs: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cooked meatballs with the marinara sauce. Warm them together until the meatballs are fully heated through and the sauce is simmering, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Prepare the Sub Rolls: Slice each sub roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for filling.
- Assemble the Subs: Spoon the warm meatballs and marinara sauce evenly into each sub roll. Sprinkle each with the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning for added flavor.
- Bake to Melt Cheese: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Brush the sub rolls with garlic butter before assembling for an extra flavorful crust.
- These subs also work wonderfully with turkey or chicken meatballs as a lighter alternative.
- If you prefer a crispier roll, toast the sub rolls briefly before assembling the sandwiches.
