Oven Baked Meatball Sandwiches Recipes

OVEN-BAKED MEATBALL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line a large baking sheet with foil & then place the raw meatballs on it about 1″ apart.
• Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet, turn the meatballs over & return to the oven to bake an additional 14-17 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 185 degrees F.
• While the meatballs are baking, spray your casserole dish with oil or cooking spray.
• Place the buns in the prepared dish & line the inside of each bun with a slice of provolone cheese.
• Once the meatballs are cooked, place several in each bun in between the cheese. (*note- do not turn off your oven after baking the meatballs)
• Spoon the marinara sauce over the meatballs & then top each sandwich with a handful of mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the 375-degree F oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• *Opt - broil for 2-5 minutes to brown the cheese before serving.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese & parsley prior to serving.

MEATBALL SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt. Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted.
• While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Cool slightly, cut into servings, and enjoy!

MEATBALL SUBS

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the ground beef and breadcrumbs. Add the milk, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic and egg. Mix to combine.
• Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the meatball mixture and roll into a ball. Continue with the remaining meatball mixture, making about 40 meatballs. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in a large rectangular baking dish or foil pan. Bake, uncovered, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Pour the marina over the meatballs, then continue to bake until the sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes more. Toss the meatballs to coat in the sauce and set aside.
• For the rolls: Turn the oven temperature down to 375 degrees F.
• Stir together the butter and garlic in a small bowl. Tear off the tops of the rolls, creating a nice boat to hold the meatballs. Transfer the rolls and torn pieces to a baking sheet and brush generously with the garlic butter. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Build the meatball subs: Load 5 meatballs into each roll. Spoon over some of the sauce. Top with some onions and sprinkle over the basil and Parmesan. Serve with more sauce and the toasted bread pieces.
• Reheating instructions: Reheat the meatballs in a pan, covered, at 350 degrees F until warmed through, about 25 minutes.
