"Sure, you might still need a few extra napkins, but you'll reduce the chance of chasing meatballs across the floor when you are more mindful about construction methods. Plus, you're likely to rethink some of your ingredients in favor of ones that can elevate the experience. If you're ready to make the perfect meatball sandwich, these 16 tips should get you well on your way."
The best meatball sandwiches balance tender meatballs, tangy sauce, sturdy bread, and melty cheese for satisfying texture and flavor. Proper construction prevents sogginess and keeps meatballs from falling out while eating. Choose long rolls with a firmer crust and soft interior so the bread resists sauce without being too tough. Hoagie, ciabatta, Italian-style, or French rolls work well when fresh and not overly chewy. Use high-quality, well-seasoned meatballs and assemble with measured sauce and melted cheese to maximize flavor and avoid a soggy sandwich.
