Instructions

  1. Prep: Cook your Love Buds Beefless Meatballs according to pack instructions.

  2. Preheat: Set oven to broil (grill) and work on the next steps while it heats up.

  3. Baste the Bread: Place 4 hoagie or Italian sub buns in a 9x13 baking dish or a baking tray with parchment paper. Open the bun but do NOT break them apart into separate pieces. Baste the inside with vegan butter or even better - vegan garlic butter.

  4. Build the Sub: Add sauce + meatballs (4–5 pcs per sub depending on the length of your bread), top with more sauce. You can either mix your vegan meatballs and sauce together in a bowl and then add to the sandwiches or add a little sauce to each one. Then layer provolone slices on top (or any vegan cheese of your choice).

  1. Broil: Place under broiler for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted. For better melt, lightly spray cheese with oil or water.

  2. Finish & Serve: Remove, sprinkle with vegan parmesan, let cool for 5 minutes, then dig in.

Notes for Variations

  • Try other plant-based cheeses: vegan mozzarella, shreds, or cheese sauce.

  • Other vegan meatball options include Beyond Meat, Impossible, Gardein, or homemade chickpea/lentil balls.

  • Air fryer option: 5–10 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
