Meatball Sandwiches

Creating, preparing and serving easy meals is a necessity in our home. The scheduled we keep is crazy and non-stop but that doesn’t mean that we can forget about good home cooked meals. When I am at a loss for what to plan for meals for the next week I always pick up our favorite pasta sauce – Mezzetta®. I know that if I have these Mezzetta® Pasta Sauces on hand that I can always throw together a delicious home cooked meal, even on our busiest evening.

The Mezzetta® Napa Valley Homemade Pasta Sauces come in a number of varieties, all of which we like to use in so many recipes. I guess you could say, we are a pasta sauce lovin’ family!

Available Flavors:

Marinara
Tomato & Sweet Basil
Spicy Marinara
Roasted Garlic & Caramelized Onions
Parmesan, Asiago & Romano
Wild Mushroom

Now, I wouldn’t say that my kids are picky eaters but finding meals that they both like has been a challenge – except Meatballs! Seriously, my kids could eat Meatballs every day! I cannot complain though, because I am not one to make my own Meatballs so really it is a win win situation for me! Hello frozen meatballs – so many options for meals!

Ingredients:

Frozen Home style Meatballs (or make your own)

Mezzetta® Napa Valley Homemade Pasta Sauce

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Hoagie Buns

Directions:

1. Add frozen meatballs to a large sauce pan.

2. Pour Mezzetta® Napa Valley Homemade Pasta Sauce over the meatballs. Cover pan with a lid.

3. Let meatballs and sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stir. Let meatballs and sauce simmer for another 10 minutes and stir.

4. Layer cooked meatballs on a hoagie bun.

5. Drizzle some Mezzetta® pasta sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle some shredded Mozzarella cheese on the sandwich.

6. Serve HOT and enjoy!

I told you this was an easy family meal – no brainer for a busy family on the go! Another bonus, usually meatballs come in large packages which means leftovers! Yummy!
