Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup marinara sauce or as needed
- 8-10 meatballs cooked
- 2 8- inch buns
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If desired, add cooked meatballs into a small bowl with marinara for additional sauce.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading sauce to the bottom of the bun, followed by the meatballs and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minute or until cheese is melted.
Notes
- Preheating the oven ensures the cheese melts evenly and the bun gets slightly toasted.
- Don’t be afraid to load up the sauce, the bread will soak it up and it helps to keep everything extra moist.
- Use a quality roll or bun. The sturdier it is, the better it will hold up against the sauce and meatballs.
- Broil for extra crispiness and to make the cheese golden.
- This sub is great on its own, but you can make it part of a meal by serving it with chips, French fries or a side salad.
