I wanted to make Bolognaise Meatballs and Mozzarella Subs the other day, but I was not in the mood to make meatballs from scratch (let’s just call it being plain lazy!)

So, I bought some sausages, removed the casings and had instant seasoned meat just ready to form into balls. Sausage meat, in general, is perfect for this.

The specific sausages I bought were a little loose, if you know what I mean. Too loose to fry in a pan, but it worked like a charm when I baked them – kept the shape 100%.

Other than prepping and baking the meatballs, this took no time at all to get ready.

I think this recipe would be a great time saver on days when there are a lot of Sport watching (and of course Subs are ideal to serve on game days).

Form the meatballs, place on a lined baking sheet, keep chilled, and pop into the oven whenever you are ready, or bake the meatballs way ahead of time and use as needed.
