Meatball subs are so yummy. Not on my diet though! So i decided to see if i could make them somewhat healthier. Viola! Though these are still not diet food, they are healthy, well healthier. These would be great football night food, after a night of trick or treating or any night you need something fast and easy. You could even make these vegetarian friendly using vegetarian meatballs and cheese. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Meatballs
- Pasta Sauce
- Garlic Clove
- Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese
- Hot Dog Buns
- Parmesan Cheese
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Heat meatballs according to package or recipe directions
- Heat sauce in microwave or on stove top
- I like to dress up a jarred sauce with some italian seasoning, more garlic that is up to you
- Meanwhile, open buns to expose the inside and place them on a cookie sheet, pizza stone or similar pan
- Broil a few inches away from element and watching careful so they do not burn
- You can flip them and toast the outside too if you like
- Rub peeled garlic clove over the inside of the buns
- You can then put the leftover clove of garlic into a garlic press and add to the sauce if you like
- I love garlic so i add it then microwave for one minute so the garlic cooks just a bit and is not raw
- Place cheese slice on open bun
- If you like you can put them under the broiler again just to melt the cheese
- Add three meatballs and 1 / 4 cup of sauce on top of each bun
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and pepper flakes if desired
