This hot submarine style sandwich – it’s meaty, saucy and cheesy! Perfect for lunch, dinner or to serve at your next game day party!
Meatball Subs for a Crowd
Lightly toasted garlic submarine buns are filled with homemade meatballs covered in a rich tomato sauce or marinara sauce then topped with loads of mozzarella cheese and broiled till hot and bubbly! When I make homemade meatballs, I make a batch or two ahead of time and keep them in the freezer for recipes just like this one. Meatballs can be frozen raw or cooked meaning you can bake them to add to sandwiches or add them to Meatball Soup for an easy weeknight meal. If you’re short on time, you can make a simple recipe of Crockpot Meatballs (the meatballs go in raw and are cooked right in the crockpot). It’s an easy to make dinner when you get home after a long day. If you are feeding a crowd, prepare the meatballs and keep them warm in a slow cooker so your guests can serve themselves. Put out a series of rolls or slider buns and allow your guests to dig in.
How to Make Meatball Subs
It really is so simple to make these meatball subs! Especially when you begin with Crockpot Meatballs!
What Toppings do you Put on a Meatball Sub
Tomato sauce and cheese are perfect together (like in chicken parmesan) and of course I love to top my meatball sub with mozzarella cheese! Like in a Cheesesteak Recipe, provolone cheese is a great choice too! Add in onions, fried peppers, mushrooms … the sky’s the limit! Personally, I usually prefer a classic meatball sub with just meatballs, sauce and cheese.
What is the Best Bread for Meatball Subs
Any long roll like a submarine sandwich bun, a sub bun or a hoagie roll will work fine. In a pinch a hot dog bun will work, although it is narrower and the meatballs may be too big for it. I prefer white buns for this recipe, however you can use whole wheat or whole grain if you prefer. Don’t skip the Garlic Butter!
