Description
Quick and simple meatball subs that are perfect for busy weeknights, featuring flavorful meatballs, gooey cheese, and rich marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package frozen Italian-style or turkey meatballs (20–24 count)
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- 4–6 hoagie or sub rolls
- 8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Combine meatballs and sauce: Place the frozen meatballs in a large skillet or saucepan. Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs, cover, and heat on medium for 10–12 minutes.
- Prepare oven and rolls: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and slice open the hoagie rolls.
- Mix butter and spices: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture on the inside of each sliced roll.
- Toast the rolls: Place the rolls on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 3–5 minutes.
- Add cheese and meatballs: Remove rolls from the oven, place a slice of cheese in each roll, and nestle 4–5 meatballs inside.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan: Add shredded Parmesan over each sub.
- Melt the cheese: Return to the oven for about 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Serve warm: Let the subs cool for a minute and serve warm.
Notes
For variations, try using plant-based meatballs or BBQ sauce instead of marinara.
