HOW TO MAKE EASY OVEN-BAKED MEATBALL SANDWICHES

Cook time: 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is complete melted


Ingredients:

  • Sandwich rolls (cut with one side intact)
  • Pre-cooked meatballs (your favorite recipe or frozen, pre-made meatballs)
  • Marinara Pasta Sauce (homemade or jarred)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:

  1. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  2. Place your frozen pre-cooked meatballs or homemade pre-cooked meatballs in a large pot. Cover with your pasta sauce.
  3. Gently fold the meatballs with the sauce, heat the meatballs and sauce on low-medium, stirring occasionally until the meatballs are heated thoroughly.
  4. Fill a roll with as many meatballs as you can fit (usually 4-5 meatballs, depends on size of meatballs and the size of the roll). Top with more pasta sauce from your pot. Place filled sandwich rolls closely on baking sheet. Top each sandwich with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake until the cheese is melted, hot, and bubbly.

Notes:

  1. If you are using any uncooked meatballs (i.e. fresh meat deli), cook them first in a frying pan and drain any excess oil before baking them with the remaining ingredients in the oven.
  2. If you are serving these during a party, game night, or if these are being packed for meals away from home, it might be helpful to wrap each sandwich individually. I liked to do this with foil, before baking.
