Meatball Sub on a Stick

By davidv

Your favorite messy sub just became a walk-and-eat party food. We incorporated every part of the sandwich into this recipe…from the roll to the cheese!

Tip: Think what other kind of sandwiches you could make like this. How about a hot sausage sandwich with onions and peppers? Maybe chicken parm? Even a Cuban!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Unroll the dough and separate it into 12 breadsticks. Brush each breadstick with olive oil and then sprinkle on the Italian seasoning. Thread one end of a breadstick on a skewer. Then, skewer 1 meatball. Leave 1/4" between the dough and the meatball. Thread the breadstick and 2 additional meatballs on the skewer. Place the skewer on a nonstick cookie sheet and build the remaining "subs," placing each about a 1/2" apart. Bake for 10 minutes.

While the subs are baking, cut the Provolone in half to make half-moon shapes and heat the marinara. After 10 minutes, place 1 half of Provolone on each sub and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serve with the warm marinara.
