Get ready to put your taste buds in overdrive with our sizzling Spicy Meatball Sub Recipe! Savory Meatballs, Spicy Sauce and Gooey Cheese.
I’ve been craving a good Meatball Sub and decided to take it up a notch and make it a little spicy.
Not difficult to do when you use a little spicy marinara sauce (pasta sauce) and some Pickled Jalapeños.
I love this meatball sub recipe not only because it’s super easy to make but ready to eat in about 10 minutes.
I had some leftover buns after making some tortas so I decided to use those to make this sub recipe. But feel free to use whatever kind of bun you prefer. A nice hoagie roll would work fine.
I like to use sliced Mozzarella cheese for my meatball subs but you can use whatever you have on hand as long as it melts. Sliced Provolone Cheese would be a good alternative.
If you are having a hard time finding spicy marinara sauce you can use regular marinara sauce and add some crushed red pepper flakes while it is simmering in the skillet.
