Meatless Meatball Sub
This vegetarian version of a classic meatball sub proves that nothing’s missing. Black Beans and Garbanzos create tender meatless meatballs along with fresh garlic, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and red wine vinegar. Bake to crisp, golden perfection, place on a hoagie roll, and smother with marinara sauce and dairy-free cheese.
