HOW TO MAKE THE WORLD’S BEST MEATBALL SUB

As we mentioned, this sandwich is through-the-roof good because the meatballs are to die for.

These can easily be made several days in advance.

Watch us show you how to make the most amazing Italian Meatballs!

SIMMER THE ITALIAN MEATBALLS IN HOMEMADE MARINARA

Another key to this sandwich is the homemade marinara. It’s also key to making the Italian meatballs, but adding a layer to the cheesy toasted bread is essential for the perfect meatball sub.

I’ve said it before, but this homemade marinara is the real deal.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

These Italian meatballs just get better after they had time to deepen their flavors even longer while sitting in the fridge. We love all kinds of sandwiches, but this meatball sub is at the top of our list.

Then get a nice loaf of Italian bread (not too soft, and not too hard), cut off the ends, add a layer of mozzarella…and toast.

Layer the sauce, heated meatballs and layers of fresh parmesan and herbs, and you’re set.

IDEAL PARTY FOOD

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who didn’t love a good meatball sub every now and then.

Pour some of the amazing fresh marina sauce over the top, and it’s just that…over the top.

Hungry yet?
