Ingredients
- ½ jar pasta sauce approximately 12 ounces
- ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon dried basil
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 12 vegan meatballs 1 package, frozen
- ½ bell pepper sliced or chopped, or 1 cup frozen bell pepper slices
- ¼ cup onion sliced or diced
- ¼ jalapeño diced, optional for additional spice
- 2 hoagie rolls deli fresh crusty bread rolls
- ½ cup vegan cheese shreds such as grated Miyoko's Mozz
Instructions
- In a large saucepan add marinara sauce and spices and mix thoroughly.
- Then add frozen meatballs, cover over medium heat, and allow to come to a boil (about 15 minutes). Reduce heat to medium-low, add bell peppers, onions, and optional jalapeño and allow to simmer, covered, for 30 minutes (or until meatballs are hot all the way through), stirring occasionally.
- To prepare rolls, slice open and use your fingers to compress the inner roll. Add cheese inside the roll and heat in microwave for 10-15 seconds per roll to soften and melt.
- Fill each roll with piping hot meatballs and sauce. (If desired, add extra cheese on top and broil briefly to melt.)

Notes
- Got Leftovers? If you're cooking for more than two or love leftovers, double the recipe! The leftover meatballs and sauce make a great addition to a pasta marinara for dinner the following night.
- Storing Tips: It’s best to separate the components. Keep the meatballs and sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store the bread and cheese separately, then reheat and assemble when you’re ready to eat—it helps keep the bread from getting soggy!
