Classic Meatball Sub

Start with homemade meatballs made from a blend of ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, and seasonings. Simmer them in marinara sauce, then assemble your sub with toasted hoagie rolls, melted cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Spicy Meatball Sub

Add a kick to your meatball sub by mixing spicy Italian sausage into the meatball mixture. Top with pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapenos, and a drizzle of sriracha for a fiery twist on this classic sandwich.

Vegetarian Meatball Sub

For a meat-free option, try making vegetarian meatballs using lentils, mushrooms, and Italian seasonings. Roast them until golden brown, then serve in a toasted whole wheat sub roll with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella.

Meatball Parmesan Sub

Take your meatball sub up a notch by turning it into a meatball Parmesan sub. After assembling your sandwich, top it with extra marinara sauce and a generous amount of grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

BBQ Meatball Sub

For a tangy and sweet twist, try a BBQ meatball sub. Mix your meatballs with BBQ sauce before simmering, then assemble your sub with coleslaw, crispy fried onions, and a drizzle of additional BBQ sauce for a finger-licking good meal.
