I love taking these Perfect Meatball Sandwiches on any road trip. I pack up a few and we’re set to go and drive for miles with these in hand. Everyone believes that their recipe for meatballs is the best, but I promise you will fall in love with these.
Included in this recipe is instruction for a homemade marinara sauce that you can add to so many other recipes too, so enjoy experimenting with this!
To make The Perfect Meatball Sandwich, you will need the following ingredients:
Using an immersion blender, food processor, or blender, blend the tomatoes until mostly pureed with a few chunks resembling a salsa-like texture.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil and then add garlic. Cook until golden and fragrant but not burnt.
Add tomatoes with all the juices, water, salt, sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes and basil. Stir to mix well then cover with a splatter screen and bring to a simmer.
Simmer, stirring a few times, for 15-20 minutes until thickened. Season with salt to taste.
Once cooked remove basil and discard.
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
Spread butter on both sides of each of the rolls and top with garlic powder. Transfer to a lined baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes.
Spread a few tablespoons of prepared marinara sauce on both sides of each toasted roll and then fill with about 3-4 meatballs. Finally, sprinkle ¼ cup mozzarella on each.
Bake in preheated oven for another 2-3 minutes until cheese has melted.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve. Enjoy!
