We enjoy a good meatball sub at our house. I make it easier by sometimes using already made meatballs from the grocery, and turning them into a crock pot recipe by putting the meatballs and spaghetti sauce in the crock pot, to simmer for a few hours, before making our subs. These also make a nice meal for a crowd, or an after church meal because you can have the crock pot going while you’re gone, and it’s ready when you get home. The bonus is that they are delicious and a crowd pleaser!
I used some store bought Angus beef meatballs with green and red peppers in them, and they were great.
Here’s how to make them:
INGREDIENTS:
- Your Favorite Meatballs
- Jar of Your Favorite Pasta Sauce
- Sub Buns
- Provolone Cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- Add your desired amount of meatballs and favorite spaghetti sauce (mine is Prego traditional) to the crock pot.
- Simmer on high for 3 to 4 hours.
- Choose your favorite sub rolls.
I bought some extra large hot dog buns from the bakery at the grocery.
- Slice open your buns, but not all the way through because you don’t want your sauce to leak out, and fill with meatballs and sauce.
- Top with provolone cheese (or your favorite).
- Wrap each in foil (I used a quick spray of cooking spray where the foil would touch the cheese so it wouldn’t stick), and bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven, or until the cheese is all gooey and melted.
