EASY MEATBALL SUB ON A STICK
Does your family get psyched for March Madness? Any basketball fans in your house? I really don't need an excuse to celebrate and eat but March Madness is a good enough reason as any. Maybe you're having a game watching party and don't want to fuss too much but you still want some grub that you know for sure everyone will love.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS FUN APPETIZER/SNACK:
- Use any flavor meatball your family will enjoy. Original, turkey, Italian or even the plant-based meatballs will work.
- Crescent roll dough or pizza dough can be substituted for the breadstick dough.
- 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.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
frozen meatballs
breadstick dough
Italian seasoning
mozzarella cheese
marinara sauce
bamboo skewers (like the ones you use for caramel apples)
HOW TO MAKE MEATBALL SUB ON A STICK:
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. 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.
Heat up some of your favorite marinara sauce and serve with the meatball skewers for dipping!

This looks totes amaze, but I can't seem to figure out exactly what a 'serving' constitutes. Is that per skewer? I'm going to try and turn this into a fun dinner for my family of five so I don't want to come up short on meatballs! 😮
Hi Sierra! You get twelve skewers out of this so one serving is one skewer. Hope that helps!
