Meatball Sub on a Stick

Meatball Sub On A Stick

Ingredients:

1 bag Farm Rich Meatballs (Original, Turkey or Italian)

1 tube breadstick dough

2 tbsp. Italian seasoning

1 cup Mozzarella cheese

1 cup marinara sauce

12 bamboo skewers (like the ones you use for caramel apples)

Directions:

NOTE: The meatballs come frozen so you'll need to defrost them in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave before making this. You want them soft enough to be able to insert onto the skewers. For one tube of breadsticks, you'll need 36 meatballs.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Unroll dough and separate into 12 breadsticks. Thread one end of a breadstick on a skewer; add one meatball then thread the dough around the meatball. Repeat threading with breadstick and 2 additional meatballs.

Place about one inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining breadsticks and meatballs.

Bake for about 20 minutes. Meatballs should be cooked through and the breadsticks a nice light, golden brown. You may need to rotate the trays halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Once finished, take out pans and sprinkle the meatballs with mozzarella cheese and top that off with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

Put the meatballs back into the oven for another 3-4 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Gently heat up some of your favorite marinara sauce and serve with the meatball skewers for dipping!

Enjoy!
