A No-Recipe Meal: Meatball Subs

This a favorite of ours and so easy.  It’s great for those evenings when schedules get crazy and kids are eating at different times.

You need:

1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

meatballs (I buy the frozen bagged kind)

mozzarella cheese

sub buns

Pour the jar of sauce into a saucepan and heat up the meatballs on low till they are heated through.  Place as many meatballs as you like onto the bread (I estimate about 6 small meatballs per person), along with some sauce.  I use anything from a fresh French bread loaf to (desperation) hotdog buns.  Sometimes I toast the buns if they are too soft so they don’t get soggy.

Top with mozzarella cheese.  Leaving the sandwiches opened, I put them in a 350 degree oven till the mozzarella cheese is melted and browning just a bit and they are all warm and toasty.

    I think I read at one point that you don't eat meat. How do you cook to meet everyone's tastes/needs in your family? I struggle with this and feel like a short-order cook most nights.

    Thanks for the idea! I just asked my kids if they would like meatball subs for dinner tonight, and they said yes!

    My youngest of 3 just graduated college, but I used to make this alot! (At one point I was going to 7 ball games a week) You can also
    put them in the crockpot, just not for 8 hours. They do good on low for 4-6.

    We make these too for supper – usually with simple meatballs I made and froze beforehand. We love to top them with lettuce, tomatoes and pepperoncini. Yum!
