Best Meatball Sandwich Recipe
Whenever I make homemade meatballs, I always make a big batch to use for meals all week long. My family’s favorite is by far this baked meatball marinara sub. It just doesn’t get any better than juicy meatballs in a submarine bun topped with meatball sauce and bubbly cheese. The bread is nice and soft and the cheese is browned for a perfect meatball hero!
Meatball Sauce
You can use your favorite store-bought marinara sauce for this recipe, but my personal recommendation is this Meatball Sauce Recipe. It is packed with so much flavor from Italian seasonings, sausage, and pork bites. Pour this over top of your baked meatball subs, and you will be blown away by how much it elevates the flavor of the whole sandwich.

Meatball Sub Recipes Tips
Don’t forget to use the garlic butter recipe on the bread. Trust me, it is just amazing!Use your favorite meatball recipe or frozen meatballs for the best sandwich. I highly recommend using this amazing meatball seasoning when making your meatballs. Wrap your sandwiches in tin foil to keep the bread soft while they bake. You want the bread to stay soft and the cheese to melt perfectly first. This is a key step to amazing meatball sandwiches. In the last 5 minutes of the bake time, open the aluminum foil at the top to brown the cheese.
