Ingredients
Meatballs and Sauce
- 12 cooked meatballs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Sandwich
- 2 sub rolls
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for melting the cheese and warming the assembled subs.
- Warm Meatballs: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the cooked meatballs in marinara sauce combined with Italian seasoning until heated through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the sub rolls lengthwise but not all the way through, then brush the inside surfaces lightly with olive oil to add flavor and help toast the bread.
- Assemble Subs: Place the warm meatballs evenly inside each sliced sub roll and spoon additional marinara sauce over the meatballs to ensure they stay moist and flavorful.
- Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs and sauce in each sub, covering them evenly.
- Bake Subs: Arrange the assembled subs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the mozzarella cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Notes
- Toast the bread before filling to add extra texture and crunch to your subs.
- For extra flavor and nutrition, add sautéed peppers or onions inside the sandwich.
