Quick Italian Meatball Subs Recipe

Need a SUPER-FAST and yet totally yummy dinner on a busy weeknight? One of my favorite go-to meals has become meatball subs.  I like them because I can either use store-bought meatballs or I often whip up a double batch of these Easy Italian Meatballs and freeze extras to have on hand for meatball subs. That way I’m prepared for those crazy evenings when the kids have activities and I won’t have much time to cook.

Looking for a fast and delicious dinner on a busy night? These Italian Meatball Subs come together quickly and are always a hit with kids and adults. sunshineandhurricanes.com

Okay, so here’s what you need:

12-18 Meatballs (bought, but make sure they are thawed or homemade with our tasty recipe)
Jarred Italian Sauce
2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
5Tbsp Butter
2 tsp Garlic Powder
Hoagie Rolls

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Soften the butter slightly in the microwave and mix with the 2 tsp garlic powder. Slice open the Hoagie rolls, but don’t fully cut them in half. Split them apart just enough that you can spread a light layer of the garlic butter mixture on each side. Place 3-4 meatballs in each roll, top with about 1/4 -1/2 cup of sauce (this really depends on your own personal preference and how saucy you want them).  Top each with mozzarella and place on a parchment paper lined cooking tray (or else use cooking spray).  You can use the rolls to support each other so they don’t fall over spilling all their yummy goodness OR you could also use a shallow baking pan to help them stay put. Bake until the cheese gets melty and the rolls start to look a little brown and crispy (about 10 -12 minutes).  I like to serve these with a little side salad or if you have broccoli lovers, that is also a good choice.

    No where in this did it say the meatballs need to be cooked. I assumed since it said you could use frozen or make your own that you just put em in there raw.

    Obviously not

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
