The Easiest Meatball Subs
These are truly the easiest meatball subs! We took a bunch of shortcuts by making everything store-bought and these are a winner! All you do is let frozen meatballs cook in a crockpot with sauce and then layer up your subs. It's the perfect dinner for a busy day and you really can't mess it up. We got mostly everything from Costco to make it a Costco dinner, but you could easily substitute with whatever works for you!

- 28 oz marinara sauce
- ¼-⅓ cup pesto
- 10-15 slices provolone

Instructions
- I know the servings for everything varies, but you can't mess this recipe up! You just use as much as you want of each item!
- Place about 20-30 frozen meatballs in your crockpot.
- Add the whole jar of marinara, it doesn't matter if you use 20-30 meatballs because there will be plenty of sauce.
- Cook on low for as little as 2 hours and up to 5-6 hours. You really can't overcook these!
- Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
- Cut your baguettes into subs and then slice lengthwise.
- Layer with sliced provolone or mozzarella, meatballs with sauce, and a little layer of pesto on one side of the sub.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is warm. Garnish with fresh basil if you'd like and enjoy!
Notes
For Storing: Store the extra cooled meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 extra days.
