Subway Meatball Marinara Sub Recipe

A good Meatball Marinara Sub needs two things: tender meatballs and a sauce that clings to every bite!
For this Subway copycat, I go for a mix of beef and pork in my meatballs—it keeps them juicy and packed with flavor.
Simmering the meatballs in the sauce is a must. It helps them soak up all that rich tomato goodness while staying tender.
A soft sub roll that can hold up to the sauce without getting soggy is the way to go.
Topping it off with a generous layer of mozzarella and toasting it for a slight crisp makes it even better!
