Easy Meatball Sandwiches from Scratch

My family just loves these and it is always nice to have your meatballs already made. See below for our time-saving tips for this recipe.

tips to streamline recipes

  • Let's face it, we do not always have time to make meatballs from scratch, or maybe we ran out. You can use frozen meatballs in place of homemade. If you are serving at a party, you can put the meatballs and sauce in the slow cooker for people to serve themselves.
  • You can use a store-bought marinara sauce in place of homemade in the recipe. But better yet, make the marinara sauce ahead of time and keep it on hand for many meal ideas.
  • You can use pre-shredded mozzarella cheese in this recipe.
  • You can serve the meatballs in a crockpot and let everyone build their own meatball sandwich themselves.meatball sandwiches

    The flavors are great. My problem is the meatballs tend to fall out into my lap.

    Great idea. It looks like the filling would freeze well too. Perfect for work lunches.

      It would definitely be great for a work lunch with the help of a microwave oven.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
