Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl and punch a well into the center of meat. Fill well with the egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire, parsley, cheese, and a little salt and pepper. Mix up meatball ingredients until well combined, yet not over-mixed. Divide mix into 4 equal parts, roll each part into 4 balls and space equally onto a nonstick baking sheet. Place meatballs in oven and roast about 12 minutes. Break a meatball open and make sure meat is cooked through before removing from the oven.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. When garlic starts sizzling, add herbs and crushed pepper. Allow oil to infuse for half a minute, then stir in the tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are removed from oven.
- Combine meatballs and sauce and pile into sub rolls, 4 meatballs per sub. Top with shredded cheese and place under subs under broiler to melt cheese. Top with shredded basil or arugula and serve with a pile of Oven Fries.
- Drizzle potatoes with a generous pour of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss potatoes with seasoning blend or coarse salt and pepper. Place potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet and roast 20 minutes or until just tender. Give the baking sheet a good shake after 10 minutes to avoid sticking.

MEATBALL SUB SANDWICH
Meatball subs in soggy, falling-apart buns are just the worst. That's why we recommend toasting our Tailgaters Brat Buns for this recipe. The heftier, toasty bread will stand up to all that meaty, marinara, mozzarella goodness.

MEATBALL SUBS
In this classic Italian American sandwich, tender meatballs drenched in tomato sauce are tucked into crisp rolls then buried under a blanket of gooey cheese. It's a messy sandwich no matter how you build it or bite into it, but wise construction can help: First, hollow out the rolls a bit so the meatballs have a place to sit. Then, use the leftover crumbs to make the meatballs, which will keep them light. Finally, toast the rolls to prevent them from getting too soggy with sauce. Of course, some crispy-gone-soggy bites are welcome, just as the cheese pulls, sauce drips and messy fingers are, too. They're all part of the experience.

Steps:
- Heat the broiler to high with a rack no more than 6 inches from the heat source. (See Tip if you don't have a broiler.) Using a fork, scrape out some of the interior of the rolls until you get about 1 cup bread crumbs. Add them to a large bowl along with 1/2 cup water, the egg, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Finely grate 1 garlic clove into the mixture, then stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Lightly grease a large (12-inch), oven-proof skillet with olive oil. To the bread crumbs, add the beef, Parmesan and chopped basil. Stir with your hands until combined, avoiding overmixing. Roll into 12 balls (about 2 heaping tablespoons/2 ounces each) and place them in the prepared skillet as you go. Broil the meatballs until browned and nearly cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Move the skillet to the stovetop. Add the marinara sauce, stir to coat the meatballs, and warm over medium-low heat while you toast the rolls: Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cut-side up, and broil until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Rub the cut sides of the roll with the second garlic clove.
- Divide the meatballs and sauce among the rolls, then top with mozzarella. Broil until the mozzarella is melted and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with more grated Parmesan, basil leaves and black pepper.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients beforehand. Chop your veggies, pre-cook your meatballs, and measure out your seasonings before you start cooking. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling in the kitchen.
- Use good quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your meatball sub bites will taste. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality cheese, and your favorite store-bought or homemade meatballs.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the meatballs, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of fry and won't be as crispy.
- Don't skip the sauce. The sauce is what really brings the meatball sub bites together and makes them extra delicious. You can use your favorite store-bought or homemade sauce, or try one of the recipes in the article.
- Serve immediately. Meatball sub bites are best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can assemble them and then bake them just before serving.
Conclusion:
Meatball sub bites are a quick, easy, and delicious appetizer or snack that is perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep work, you can have these tasty bites ready to enjoy in no time. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give meatball sub bites a try. You won't be disappointed!
