These Italian Meatball Subs are all about big, saucy flavor that’ll have you reaching for a napkin before you even take your first bite — because they’re messy in the best way! Packed with tender, homemade meatballs simmered in rich tomato sauce and piled high on a cheesy, soft roll, they’re the kind of sandwich perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a football-watching feast.

You’ll start off by mixing up some meatballs. This is really the hardest part of making these sandwiches. They take a few minutes, but are so worth it.

The meatballs get partially baked in the oven before going into the sauce. The sauce that will transform these simple meatballs into a swoon-worthy sandwich.

I put my electric skillet to use when I made these, but you can use your slow cooker if you like. See the note in the recipe below.

Layer the meatballs onto a nice roll that you’ve lined with some slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese and you have a feast! These are great sandwiches to serve at a football party. You could even serve them on little buns and make them sliders.
Enjoy…and don’t forget the napkins!
