    This has got to be one of the best, no bullshit cooking shows on this entire platform! Bravo, dude. Bravo

    Been doing this my whole life. Learned it from my mom. Only thing I changed while making it myself is I turn the hollowed bread into garlic bread. Just when you think a meatball sub can't get any better. Enjoy.

    Thanks for this, I'm a "sandwich nut" and always looking for new techniques.....this one is so OBVIOUS, and yet it has escaped me for 50 years of my life. :)

    This is how I was introduced to meatball subs as a kid. Hollowing out the bread is truly the best way.
  • @nellgwenn
    I do this all the time. The only thing I do differently is to add cheese as I fill the bread. You just have to watch so you don't make the hole too big so the bread is too thin. It works with Italian beef too.

    I LITERALLY have a batch of dough rising and meat thawing in the fridge to make meatball subs for dinner, then you posted this video. What a wild coincidence! I used to get meatball subs from a food truck in Tinton Falls, NJ, where they would chop up the meatballs on a flat top with cheese, kind of similar to the way a cheesesteak is prepared. Still the best meatball sub I've ever had.

    Genius! Literally the only reason I don't eat more meatball subs is because they fall out and make a mess. How simple yet elusive an idea :)
  • @lucascady4992
    I like that you used the bread you pulled out in your meatballs! True chef, nothing goes to waste! Looks Amazing, thanks for the video! 😮
  • @Gerisheng
    I remember this from when I was a kid. It really is the perfect way to eat a meatball sub, as you so perfectly demonstrate.
  • @bkm2797
    Clever, makes perfect sense! Thanks Steve for the recipe as well!👍❤️
  • I feel like I just had my world turned upside down, but in a good way! This just makes so much sense!
  • in Brazil we do a version of sloppy joes using the end of buns like that. We have a bread called "french bread" here, which has nothing French in it, but it is like a short 6" baguette, we hollow these out and fill with ground beef in tomato sauce.

    Love that your ingredients for meatballs are almost exactly like my Neapolitan family’s recipe. We don’t measure much but ingredients are the same. Nothing weird like so many others…no oregano 🤢, no rosemary 🤮, no garbage spices to give you acida! We may add a bit of fresh parsley to round them out but you’ve nailed it. Your sauce is perfect, simple, quick and pure! Bravo. I roll my eyes and laugh to myself every time I see somebody paying $8.99 for 20 ounces of garbage supposedly “Italian” sauce in the grocery store. How ridiculous. Italian food is simple. Simple whole ingredients combined to be delicious! Keep up the good work. Love you and your content!

    One of the best cooking channels on the site. Vibe I get is like a friend or neighbor explaining food and cooking to me, to where everything makes sense and I need little convincing of the choices you make while prepping and cooking. Great approach to the vids
