Nothing beats a tasty meatball sandwich. You can throw these easy grilled spicy meatball sandwiches together in just minutes. Although you could make this indoors, grilling the meatballs adds a nice charred flavor. Substitute mozzarella cheese and leave out the hot sauce for a less spicy version.

Easy Grilled Spicy Meatball Sandwiches

I used our homemade pizza and pasta sauce on these easy grilled spicy meatball sandwiches. I had a batch on hand after making some awesome pizzas the day before. And although homemade meatballs would be preferred, I needed a quick dish, so I used Johnsonville’s Italian-Style meatballs.

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish, although I used skewers. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!
