Review: Meatball Subs

This is so easy, you  might just die. This is hands down the best recipe for a time crunch and requires so few ingredients you'll be signing when you see how little it will impact your food budget.

This is a recipe you can cook on the stove in a pinch or leave in your crock pot all day. It is a simple filling meal that left me with enough to serve lunch to my entire family of five the next day so its a great double batch and freezer safe recipe!

Original Recipe:

Meatball Subs


1 bag of meatballs (either turkey or beef)
2 cans of spaghetti sauce
1 bag of hoagie rolls
2 cups of mozarella cheese
Italian seasoning for spaghetti sauce


1. Combine meatballs, sauce and seasoning in a crockpot or pot on stove. Cook until done. (Can be left on low in the crockpot for many hours or done on the stove in about 30 minutes)
2. Dish rolls onto buns, sprinkle with mozarella cheese and serve.

Hoagie Rolls- 1.89
Turkey Meatballs 2 lb package- 4.35 (you could save more if you did beef instead of turkey)
2 cans of Del Monte Spaghetti sauce couponed @ .24 each- .48
seasonings in pantry- pennies over time
mozarella cheese- 1.60
= approx .60 a serving depending on how many meatballs per hoagie

I added some seasonings to my sauce, including garlic, pepper and chili pepper with just a hint of oregano. It didn't need much help, the dinner was a hit, my kids devoured it and it was one of the fastest easiest recipes I've made so far.
