Not eating meat is fairly easy most days. Lately, though, I’ve been SO wanting a Subway meatball sub. After a quick internet search {don’t ya just lurve the internet?} I found a couple different vegetarian meatball recipes, tweaked them to our liking, and came up with one awesome meatless-meatball sub.

Gina’s Veggie Meatball Subs:

1 tbs Italian Seasoning
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. red pepper
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
3-4 tablespoons olive oil {for frying}

Directions:

Place defrosted veggie burgers in a bowl. Mash with your fingers until smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, red pepper, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese. Add eggs and mash with fingers until combined. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls. If you’re not frying right away, place a damp kitchen towel over meatballs to keep them from drying out.

To fry: heat olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, turn down the heat to medium. Add meatballs, turning frequently until golden brown.

For the pizza sauce:

Thom’s New York Style Pizza Sauce:

1 {15 ounce} can tomato sauce
1{6 ounce} can tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper {optional…we like HEAT!}

Pop all the ingredients into to a blender…whirl a few times and heat.

For the Subs:

Spread a goodly amount of pizza sauce over bottom of your favorite hoagie/sub bun. Place meatballs over sauce and top with a bit more sauce. Top meatballs with your favorite cheese {I ♥ provolone!} Toast or broil until cheese is bubbly delicious.
