If you’re looking for a quick lunch recipe, my meatball sub recipe is sure to win you over. It’s just a few ingredients and they taste delicious every time!
We’re at the beach this weekend and rented out a beautiful condo with a few friends and it has so much room. But my favorite part is the kitchen!
We really need to invest in a vent hood in our kitchen – it’s the best thing to avoid smoke in the house when you love to cook like me.
As soon as my husband showed me the listing, I knew I wanted to enjoy the kitchen and cook up some fun recipes. And my picture doesn’t do it justice… trust me!
Meatball Subs
Before we headed down to the beach, I thought of making something the kids can eat whenever they tired from jumping the waves. These three-ingredient meatballs came to mind right away.

Meatball Sub Recipe
Equipment:
Crock-Pot
Ingredients:
1 lb of frozen meatballs
16 oz jar of tomato and basil sauce
1 cup grape jelly
Directions:
1. Dump all ingredients in your crockpot and set on high.
2. After 2 hours, serve and enjoy! (They should be ready in 1, but I think they have better flavor with at least 2)
When we came up from the water, I ate some in a sub. This is so filling and the options are really endless when you consider all the toppings you can add. I personally love caramelized onions and jalapeños.

Do you make anything specific when your family is on vacation? I’d love to hear about your recipes!
If you’re looking for another snack, try my Pizza Dip – which is also made with just 3 ingredients! I wonder if I should create a blog series of 3 ingredient items… What do you’ll think?
