Grandma Ruth’s Meatballs and Sauce, shredded Mozzarella cheese and herbs….all melted together on a fresh Italian Hoagie roll…
I don’t know to many people who could turn down a meatball sub…Today was no exception.
This happens to be one of my son’s favorite sandwiches…While I was cooking and he was doing his homework, he asked if he could bring one to his coach tonight.
Ohhhh, my heart melted faster than mozzarella cheese on a hot meatball. My son had initiated a meal ministry! Wohoo! He really is watching!!!
So, with that…I let him make the sandwich himself. He did a great job and was able to share God’s love with his very own Coach.

they were big things.”

When I make meatball subs, I typically put the sauce and meatballs in a crockpot to simmer all day. This is actually a great sandwich for potlucks because it can be self-serve.
Prepping …Here I just gave my son 3 meatballs and some sauce in a bowl, shredded some cheese and put the hoagie under the broiler for 2 minutes.
Ready for assembly!
{With clean hands} Add the meatballs…
A little sauce {not too much or the bread will be soggy!}
Freshly shredded mozzarella cheese…
A pinch of Italian herbs…oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary. Then broil again for 1 more min until cheese is melted.
MMMMmmm……
My son after he delivered his 1st ever Meal Ministry {outside of our home}… to his beloved Coach!

and in truth.”

Since we are watching our Gluten I would have to change things up a little. These look so good!! It has been so long since we have had Meatball subs, great job.
Ohhh yes…and as you may know, I could not par take in this meal either. 🙂 That gluten!
Such a beautiful testimony of the love and guidance you provide your son. We love sub sandwiches in our home as well, yummy comfort food on these cold winter days. ~Alexis on behalf of everyone at A Moment with M.O.M.

Hello Janelle! SO nice coming to your blog for the first time! I have perused just a little but really look forward to returning and scrolling through your posts watching your testimony video 🙂
Kindly, Lorraine
Thank you so much!!!!
I made these meatballs over the weekend for my three grandkids. One loved them, the other two didn’t like them. I thought they were quite tasty. I served them with the spaghetti sauce. I think I may have enjoyed them even more on a sub sandwich. I’ll try that next time. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Thanks Kathi! If the 2 kidos didn’t like them- was it because of the chopped onion in them? Next time you may want to use onion flakes and give it a go 😉 God Bless you!
Janelle, if I double the meatball recipe, do you think I should also double the sauce recipe? I cook for 9 people so we have to have plenty! 😉
I would just 1 1/2 it, you will be good to go 😉
Thanks, Janelle! They’re on the menu for Friday. 🙂
