Meatball Hoagie Braids

"I got this out of a Pillsbury Cookoff cookbook. You know, the little ones in the checkout lines?Anyway, I made for the inlaws for a firewood cutting day and they just loved them!!!The original recipe called for frozen storebought meatballs, but I don't do that so I just said to use your favorite meatball recipe. These are really good and really easy!You could top them with additional mozzarella cheese if you wanted. You could also serve them with additional sauce to dip them in if you wanted."

  1. We really enjoyed these! I halved the recipe for the 2 of us and used the frozen meatballs I had on hand. I think the egg and parmesan cheese adds a lot to this recipe and I added some Italian seasoning along with the parmesan cheese on the top of each braid.
     
  2. These were very good, my family enjoyed them and I will make again. I was worried about these being soggy after being cooked, (I cannot bring myself to eat soggy bread, that has nothing to do with the recipe, just my being picky LOL!) You do have to eat them as soon as they come out of the oven or they do get a little soggy on the inside of the crust when sitting to cool for too long. I did use pizza sauce instead of the speghetti and used any left over sauce for the rest of the family to use for dipping. I also skipped the parmesan and egg steps and used OAMC meatballs that I had in the freezer My oldest DS told me I needed to make these again, that is a great compliment to you *Z*! Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. Very easy and a hit for my family. I'll be adding these to the rotation...especially for easy afternoon snacks!
     
  4. Super easy! I used frozen meatballs and thawed them in the microwave and then halved them. I also skipped the steps with egg and parmesan cheese. Will make again!
     
  5. Very good and fun to make! I think these would be great at a teen's (or any age for that matter) party to serve as snacks. Thanks for sharing!
