Ingredients
Meatball Sub Ingredients
- 1 cup marinara sauce (or as needed)
- 8-10 cooked meatballs
- 2 8-inch buns
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Meatballs: Optionally, place the cooked meatballs in a small bowl and mix with marinara sauce to add extra moisture and flavor to the meatballs before assembling the sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then arrange the saucy meatballs evenly on top, followed by two slices of mozzarella cheese per sandwich.
- Bake: Place the assembled sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked frozen meatballs for convenience—just thaw them before assembling.
- For a sharper flavor, substitute mozzarella with provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses.
- Add some fresh basil or oregano inside the sandwich for an herby kick.
- Use a toaster oven if making just one sandwich to save energy.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
