After you have placed all of your meatballs inside the garlic bread, top each one with a little bit of the remaining sauce. Then add a slice of mozzarella cheese over the top of each of your garlic bread meatball subs to hold everything together.
You could also use shredded mozzarella, I just prefer the slices because I feel like they hold everything together better and the assembly is less messy!
Once your garlic bread meatball subs have a nice cheese blanket place them in the oven for just a couple more minutes to melt the cheese to your liking.
Serve Garlic Bread Meatball Subs
Once the cheese has melted to your liking remove the meatball subs from the oven and top with fresh or dried parsley to make them look a little fancy!
We like to serve these with any additional sauce that was leftover from earlier to use for dipping. These garlic bread meatball subs pair perfectly with a nice Caesar salad.
This is a kid approved meal through and through, but it would also make a great appetizer when entertaining guests or watching the big game!
