Mini Meatball Subs

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, bell pepper, crushed crackers, and egg. Season with Worcestershire sauce, garlic, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until just combined; avoid overmixing. Shape into 8 evenly sized meatballs. Place meatballs in a 9x13-inch baking dish. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned on the outside.

Recipe View While the meatballs are baking, heat the spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan over low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully transfer the partially cooked meatballs from the baking dish to the simmering spaghetti sauce. Simmer gently, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are fully cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Recipe View Place one meatball and a generous spoonful of sauce into each split dinner roll. Arrange the filled rolls on a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Evenly divide the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each meatball sub. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the oven until the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 7 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
