Homemade Meatball Subs

My mom's famous meatballs get a new use...instead of topping spaghetti they get the star role in Homemade Meatball Subs!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 6 subs

Ingredients

For the meatballs:

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

For the sauce:

  • 1 29 ounce can Tomato Sauce
  • 1/2 can of water
  • 2 Teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 pinch ground cloves

For the sub assembly:

  • 6 individual sub sandwich buns sliced
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

For the meatballs:

  • Using your hands, combine all the ingredients until well blended. Pinch off pieces of the meat mixture and shape into meatballs. Place in a large stock pot or dutch oven, then follow remaining instructions.
  • In a large bowl, stir together sauce ingredients. Add to the stock pot with the meatballs and stir. Bring sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low, place the lid on the pot, and cook until meatballs are cooked through. Depending on the size of your meatballs, this will be 30-45 minutes. (You can simmer this over low heat on your stove for a longer period of time, just remember to occasionally stir.).
  • Place 4 meatballs and a spoonful of sauce in between each sub bun and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
