Meatballs - whether Italian or Swedish – make an incredibly great sub-sandwich! Use your own favorite meatball recipe, frozen pre-made meatballs, or check out the links below for easy recipes from scratch. Making sub-sandwiches with leftover meatballs is not only easy and time saving - it saves money. Have you ever ordered a meatball sub, paid $5 or more for a 7 inch sub and said - that's all the meat we get? (4 tiny where-are-they sized meatballs!) Well - I did and was so disappointed that I wouldn't have tried making them if I hadn't had left over meatballs! Now, we plan on having meatball subs often!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Left over meatballs
Your favorite French bread, hard rolls or sub-sandwich bread
Mozzarella or Swiss cheese
Sauteed onions
Sauteed mushrooms
Sauteed pepper strips
Barbecue sauce
Mild to sharp cheddar cheese

Step 1

You can make meatball sandwiches using either Italian, Swedish or generic store bought meatballs. Smaller meatballs make better subs. After all, why have giant meatballs - so big only one or two fit on a roll? Isn't that a lot like having a round hamburger?

For any of the following meatball sandwiches, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For a crispy sub-sandwich, bake it on a cookie sheet for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
For a softer sub, wrap in foil, being sure not to use too much sauce, or it will get too soggy, and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
Step 2

Swedish meatball sandwich:
Fit as many meat balls as desired on a split loaf of French bread or favorite hard roll or bun.
Top with some of the cream sauce, sauteed onions and/or mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
Step 3

Italian meatball sandwich:
Fit as many meat balls as desired on a split loaf of French bread or favorite hard roll or bun.
Top with some of the spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Step 4

Good basic meatball sandwich:
Fit as many meat balls as desired on a split loaf of French bread or favorite hard roll or bun.
Top with favorite barbecue sauce, sauteed onions, sauteed peppers, sauteed mushrooms, and mild to sharp cheddar cheese.
