    Ingredients:

    Servings:

    subs

    • 4 (6 inch) hoagie rolls, hollowed out
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (if you like very cheesy meatball subs, you may want to have extra mozzarella on hand for topping)
    • 12 meatballs (I use Family Favorite Basic Meatballs, see recipe posted separately)
    • fresh tomato sauce (see recipe posted separately)
    • grated parmesan cheese (fresh or canister, your preference)

      • Change Measurements: US | Metric

    Directions:

    Prep Time: 10 mins

    Total Time: 20 mins

    1. 1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
    2. 2 Slice a thin layer off the top of each sub roll. Remove some of the bread inside to form a bread "boat". I like to reserve the unused bread chunks for fresh breadcrumbs, or they can be used in bread pudding.
    3. 3 Brush inside of hollowed rolls with olive oil.
    4. 4 Fill bottom of buns with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella each. Place on a baking sheet and bake until buns are lightly browned and cheese is melted.
    5. 5 Fill subs with Fresh Tomato Sauce and 3 meatballs. Top with more sauce, sprinkle with the grated cheese (and more mozzarella if you like).
    6. 6 Return subs to oven briefly, just to melt the cheese on top.
    7. 7 Be sure to have lots of napkins handy, and enjoy.

      I love meatball subs and these do not disappoint! I used your meatball recipe Muffin and I gotta say that they blew away our usual recipe (I'll post separate review on those for sure)! Haven't tried the sauce recipe yet but I'll get there! Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2009.

      One thing that makes these sandwiches easier to eat is to cut your meatballs in half and they will set on the roll better. This is a great recipe and one of our favorite sandwiches all year long.

      yummm. my mom gave me some extra meatballs she had made, so, i made these...so much neater than stuffing them between the 2 slices of the hoagie roll. i put the cheese, meatballs, and sauce on, then baked the whole thing at 400 about 10 minutes

      The idea is great, but it sounds like a "knife and fork" meal rather than something that could be picked up easily and eaten.

      Tried these last night. I am so glad we did. It was one of those nights when nothing looked particularily good. Normally I dont like meatbals but my Hubby loooves meatball subs so I thought what the heck I'll try them. Well holy cow am I ever glad I did. I used the family basic meatball recipee and jarred pasta sauce as I was still feeling very lazy. It worked out perfectly. I put our left overs into the freezer so I am hoping they will work in future as a OAMC recipee.

      Fantastic!! DH was raving. :) Always a good thing. I used homemade meatballs out of the freezer and a jar of sauce. Took very little time to put together. Great weeknight dinner. Thanks. :)

      How can you go wrong with this basic recipe? I always hollowed out bread to share with the birds. No really it makes a nice pocket for filling of whatever you make. I used recipe #217325 and leftover sauce from Recipe #222218 Thanks

    I use my Recipe #124958 and Recipe #124957 (recipes posted separately) to make these for family movie nights (hence the name). They are a little less messy to eat than most meatball subs due to the hollowed-out rolls, and the unused bread chunks can be used for other purposes.
