Speedy Meatball Subs
I have been dropping the ball left and right when it comes to dinnertime lately. I’ve been using all my energy and cooking enthusiasm to get my bake on, but neglecting to remember we need to eat dinner! So I’ve been relying heavily on meals I can make fast and know by heart.
I’ve often praised how versatile meatballs are and how easy it is to make a bunch then save them for a night when dinner may have been forgotten! These tasty subs fit that bill to a T! This recipe is one that I threw together when I had a handy batch of my favorite Busy Day Meatballs in the freezer and a mason jar full of my Simply Tasty Pasta Sauce ready for action. A quick warm up, a slice of a roll and a sprinkle of cheese later, I was biting into ooey and gooey comfort food wrapped up in a bun!
Trust me when I say having this in your pocket will be a lifesaver on nights when you have no time and nothing to serve. So go ahead, sprinkle and serve!
