Homemade meatball sandwiches with juicy homemade meatballs. But instead of the classic meatball sandwiches, with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. These meatballs are covered with barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese. They make a delicious alternative to your classic meatball sandwiches. The sandwiches are covered with foil and baked in the oven to slightly crisp the bread and melt the cheese. Serve with your favorite chips or a side salad for a delicious meatball sandwich.
The homemade barbecue meatballs are made with ground beef combined with breadcrumbs, seasonings, and barbecue sauce. Form the meat mixture into bite-sized meatballs and place onto a baking dish. Bake until the meat is no longer pink. When the meatballs are cool enough to handle, place 4-5 meatballs into each sub bun and cover with more barbecue sauce. Top each sandwich with shredded cheddar cheese, wrap each in foil and bake until the cheese has fully melted.
