Ingredients
- 12 medium large premade meatballs (you can use homemade if you want)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 medium bell pepper (any color - I used yellow because that's what I had. Red is sweeter than green and yellow and orange are in the middle flavor wise.
- 1/2 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice (this adds just a tad of acid and tartness)
- 1 12 oz jar marinara sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- canned parmesan for the top
Instructions
-
Cut the bell peppers into strips, removing all the seeds. Slice the onion and peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
-
Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet and gently brown the meatballs. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and gently sauté until they are lightly softened. Stir in the cranberry juice and marinara sauce.
-
Cover and simmer gently until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened a little bit.
-
Warm the rolls in the oven and serve filled with meatballs and sauce and topped with some parmesan.
Easy and delicious!
