Firehouse Subs Meatball® Sub (Copycat Recipe)

The Firehouse Subs Meatball® Sub is a comfort food classic—juicy Italian-style meatballs simmered in zesty marinara, topped with melted provolone, and served on a warm sub roll. While Firehouse keeps their recipe secret, this copycat version captures the same bold flavors and gooey, cheesy texture at home.

Ingredients

For the Meatballs (makes 12–15):

• 1 lb ground beef (or ½ beef + ½ pork/Italian sausage for more flavor)
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or mix of dried oregano, basil & thyme)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Marinara Sauce:

• 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Sandwich:

• 1 sub roll or hoagie roll
• 2–3 slices provolone cheese
• Pinch of Italian seasoning (optional, for garnish)
• Dill pickle spear (for serving on the side)

Instructions

1. Make the Meatballs
   • In a large bowl, mix ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
   • Roll into golf-ball-sized meatballs (about 12–15).
2. Cook the Meatballs
   • Bake: Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
   • Pan-Fry: Brown in a skillet with olive oil, then reduce heat and cook 10–15 minutes, until done.
3. Prepare the Sauce
   • In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.
4. Simmer Together
   • Add cooked meatballs to the sauce.
   • Cover and simmer 15–20 minutes so the flavors meld. The longer, the better.
5. Assemble the Sub
   • Slice the roll lengthwise.
   • Place 4–5 meatballs inside and spoon marinara generously over them.
6. Add Cheese & Toast
   • Lay provolone slices over the meatballs.
   • Place the open sub on a baking sheet and broil 1–2 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
7. Serve
   • Remove from oven, sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning if desired.
   • Close the sub, cut in half, and serve hot with a dill pickle spear on the side.

🔥 Pro Tips for an Authentic Firehouse-Style Sub

• Use soft but sturdy rolls—Amoroso-style hoagie rolls are ideal.
• Wrap the finished sub in foil for 2–3 minutes to let the steam soften the bread, mimicking the Firehouse Subs “steamed” effect.
• Add extra Parmesan or crushed red pepper on top for more flavor.
