In a pinch for dinner tonight? This 4 Ingredient meal is the answer!

Instead of spaghetti dinner, create melted subs using meatballs and frozen Texas toast from the freezer, along with your jar of favorite marinara sauce from the pantry. This is not anything fancy, but sometimes easy dinner hacks like this one can be useful!

I recently tried this fun idea for a simple yet hearty meal, and my family enjoyed it. We served ours with a bag of salad, and it was a winning dinner amid the busy back-to-school weeknight routine. The result is delicious buttery bread with saucy cheese meatballs. YUM!

Tips for making the best Texas toast subs:

  • We used fresh mozzarella and loved it. You can use shredded cheese or even provolone slices would be great. Use what your family prefers or the cheese you have on hand!
  • Pressing down on your toast after it’s initially toasted will help the meatballs stay in place on the bread.
  • Next time, I may try this with mini meatballs, as those may stay on the bread easier!
  • Make this a onlineplete meal with a bag of salad mix or a side of veggies.

Meatballs on garlic toast is the best idea!

If your family is already a fan of Texas toast, then they will love this easy lunch or dinner! You could always make your own meatballs if you prefer. I need to get back into more freezer-prep meals, as homemade meatballs are so great to prep and have on hand for nights like this, too.

    Lina, you have done it again! I always look forward to your recipes because they are not only time savers, but they are so delicious. Fortunately, I have all the ingredients at home to make this tonight. I will make my own turkey meatballs (staying away from beef) and I know these will be a hit for my family. Thank you 😊
