Description
Delicious Italian-style meatball subs loaded with cheese and served on toasted buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 18 large Italian-style meatballs (defrosted if frozen)
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce
- 6 hoagie buns (or sub rolls)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 18 slices provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- In a small saucepan, combine the meatballs with the spaghetti sauce and simmer over low heat until just warmed through. Alternatively, place meatballs and sauce in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave in 1-minute intervals, until warmed through.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil with the garlic powder and oregano.
- Place the buns on a baking sheet and brush the opened sides of the buns with the olive oil mixture. Bake for 5 minutes, or until just lightly browned.
- Remove the buns from the oven and place 2 slices of provolone cheese on each bun, slightly overlapping if needed, to cover the opened surface. Top each bun with 3 large meatballs. Add an additional slice or two of cheese on top of the meatballs to cover them. You essentially want the meatballs to be enveloped in cheese on all sides.
- Return to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Close the sandwich and serve meatball subs immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can use homemade meatballs and sauce.
- Consider adding fresh basil or parsley as a garnish.
