The cheese sauce require just four ingredients:

And to assemble these subs, you just need marinara sauce, sub buns, and vegan garlic butter.

How to make these subs

First, you’ll make the meatballs by combining vegan ground beef with bread crumbs and spices. Form into 16 meatballs and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

Next, add your meatballs to a sauté pan with marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.

To make the cheese sauce, you’ll start with a vegan butter/flour roux, then add in rice milk and boil to thicken. Stir in vegan mozzarella cheese until it’s completely melted. Yum!

Finally, you’ll assemble the subs. Slice into each sub bun, slather on a little vegan garlic butter, and broil for a couple minutes until toasty. Add 4 meatballs to each sub, top with some extra marinara from the pan, and finally drizzle some cheese sauce on top.
