INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

• frozen meatballs
• breadstick dough
• Italian seasoning
• mozzarella cheese
• marinara sauce
• bamboo skewers

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!
