~Meatball Sub Casserole!

Sometimes it’s so much fun to take a fun, hand-held food favorite and totally turn it into a one dish wonder, worthy of any family dinner! That’s exactly what this casserole offers!

All the fun and convenience of a good old Meatball Sub, beautifully packaged under a layer of melty gooey Cheese, all ready for your big spoon to serve up each hot portion!

So easy and delicious, this is everything we know and love about a Meatball Sub Sandwich, baked to an ooey-gooey, family style casserole!

What you’ll need for an 8 count Sub Casserole:

1 container of Pillsbury Crescent Rounds…or any Biscuit dough in 3″ rounds!

Frozen/fully cooked Meatballs..one per each dough round

1 cup or so of Marinara

1/5 cups of Shredded Mozzarella

Oregano and Salt & Pepper ..optional

Directions:

Roll out each round just a little bit to flatten. Add one Meatball into the center and roll it up nice and tight…

Add a thin layer of Marinara Sauce to the bottom of your baking dish.

Place them into your baking dish and top them with the rest of the Marinara Sauce, then the Cheese…

Bake them at 350 for approx. 50 minutes to an hour (longer than I stated in the video, the dough wasn’t done quite enough at 35 minutes when I cut into them)…test one before serving, if necessary cover themand keep them in until they’re fully cooked!

Let them cool a bit before serving…

Then.serve those babies up…

Remember some for you!

Dig in! ~Enjoy! 🙂

This sounds good, however, did the dough cook all the way? I would assume that being buried under the sauce the dough wouldn’t cook without getting soggy… I’m going to give this is a try, but will good the dough and meatballs first then heat them in the sauce.

  They cooked but like a dumpling! Next time, I’d probably cook them up with the drizzle of olive oil BEFORE adding the sauce and cheese then top them towards the end just to melt the cheese, for more of a crusty bread! 🙂

What if you were to put the cheese and some sauce inside the biscuit then baked them? would probably would have to call it something else then. but I think ill try it!

  AWESOME!! Let me know how that works!! Sounds great! 🙂

Maybe cook the meatballs first and THEN put into the dough. These DO look scrumptious though! Thanks for the recipe!

  The Meatballs are precooked. 🙂

Did you defrostthe meatballs or keep them frozen?

  Defrosted them. 🙂

I’ll use garlic biscuits to start. Then I’ll take a small carton of ricotta, 1 egg, frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), chopped garlic and shredded Italian cheese, mix and place some in with meatballs and seal. It’s wonderful.

Making this as I type I didn’t defrost them wondering if that will make a difference.
- Amy on February 10, 2014 at 1:21 am
  Let me know how that works…fingers crossed, hope you love them! 🙂

Could you bake the rolls and meatballs on baking sheet for about 20 minutes or so? Then you could put them in the sauce and cover with the cheese. Hmmmmm. Just a thought. I might try them that way.

This was delicious! I always want to get meatball subs, but they’re so messy. This was a great compromise! Here’s my blog post: http://heatskitchen.com/2015/06/11/meatball-sub-casserole/

I made this strictly to the directions and it was soooo good and tasty; hubby took leftovers for his work lunch, he’s asked can I make it again real soon…Happy hubby. Happy wife; oh yeah–Happy life!

Would love to get the recipe without all the pictures — seems like a waste of paper and ink. I have been cooking for husband and family for 60 years – Think I can just simply follow a recipe without all the pages of pictures.

  Simply check the box at the top right side of the print/PDF page that says “remove images”.. From there you can even delete unnecessary paragraphs of text. Hope that helps.

Looks great. Will be cooking it soon. Question. There is no mention of covering then baking except when they are going back into finish cooking. Does the covering go all the baking time? Thanks. Looking to finding great recipes & hints from you.

  Cover if necessary to prevent burning. 🙂
