Oven Baked Meatball Sandwiches
These cheesy, hearty oven-baked meatball sandwiches are a comforting meal that everyone will love. Soft hoagie rolls, juicy meatballs, rich marinara sauce, and melted cheese come together to create the perfect sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4-6 hoagie rolls or sub sandwich bread hoagie rolls
- 12 meatballs pre-cooked or homemade meatballs
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste fresh basil or parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through to create a pocket for the meatballs.
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce inside each hoagie roll. Add 3-4 meatballs to each roll, followed by more marinara sauce on top.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the meatballs. If using, add Parmesan cheese on top.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the top of each sandwich roll.
- Arrange the sandwiches in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve while hot.
Notes
For extra crunch, you can broil the sandwiches for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
