You can most definitely serve them as meatballs with the spaghetti sauce but we loved them atop of sub buns, melted with some Mozzarella and served as Meatball Subs!

Join the discussionI believe I may serve these to small group next Monday.
Do you think it would work if I cooked them the 15 minutes the night before, stuck them in the fridge, then put them and the sauce in the slow cooker for the day?
Yes, that should work just fine!
I LOVE meatballs but have never made a meatball sub. I can’t believe it! These look awesome! I am pretty sure the time has come…
I hate it when a meatball falls out of the bun so I make the meatball mix into thin bun size loaves and bake them. Less messy and easier to eat.
Wouldn’t the meatballs already be at a temperature of 160 degrees after baking them, and prior to adding them to the sauce? Is the simmer step, then, more to bring out flavors rather than bring the meatballs up to temperature?
Great question! Yes the simmer step helps develop a rich sauce and make the meatballs moist. After baking them for 15 minutes, they probably will not be fully cooked, especially depending on the size. Hope this helps!
