Meatball Subs

Thank you for sharing!

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.
