We are on the homestretch of our freezer meal series. Only two recipes left! Today’s recipe was one of my favorite in the series. These meatball subs were crazy easy and tasted great. Frozen meatballs come in a lot of different sizes. I used 1-ounce meatballs. I thought they were just the right size for these subs. I made the garlic bread right before we ate dinner. I made my own, but you could use a loaf of frozen garlic bread if you don’t want to take the time to whip up your own. Serve this with a side salad for an easy meal!

  1. Could you prepare these subs with cooked meatballs on a sub bun with the cheese and place in a foil pan to freeze a few weeks or even a few days ahead as a freezer meal rather? Then pull it out to thaw or bake at 350/375 degrees for 25-30 minutes?

  2. Made this tonight. I bought fully cooked Italian meatballs (a 32 oz bag) and threw that in a gallon freezer bag with the pasta sauce and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning. I also froze the mozzarella as the recipe says, though in hindsight, that wasn't necessary. I made this only four days after freezing it, so the cheese would have been fine in the fridge.

    I did thaw the meatball mixture in the fridge overnight, but only because our freezer keeps things REALLY frozen and I was worried about not being able to get it out of the bag in the morning. But it was still pretty much a rock when I put it in the crockpot in the morning.

    This did NOT need eight hours on low. I checked mine at four hours into cooking, and the meatballs were piping hot. I guess maybe that's because the meatballs were already fully cooked?

    As far as the garlic bread, I just bought an Italian loaf and spread some garlic butter on the open halves before baking it per what the package said. I didn't bother with freezing it. Like I said, I made this four days after I purchased everything, so the bread was fine. But if you were going to make this a month after buying the bread, freezing it would be the way to go.

    But these meatballs subs were DELICIOUS!!! It was such a great no fuss dinner, and so simple! We'll definitely make these again. Thank you for the recipe!
