Chicken and Bacon Meatball Subs Recipe
Chicken and Bacon Meatball Subs Recipe
It’s always a very good thing when you can double a recipe and use the leftovers for a whole new meal, especially when the second meal is nothing like the first! I made these fabulous chicken and bacon meatballs to serve with a creamy alfredo pasta dish here, and made fresh flavoursome meatball subs with them the next day!
The meatballs heated through in the microwave in just a couple of minutes while I prepared the hotdog buns with salad ingredients. The onto the buns went the meatballs with a drizzle of garlic mayo and a side of oven fries. Ohh my goodness – so yummy! And so easy!
Here’s how I made the meatballs and all the ingredients you’ll need for them.
You’ll also need some kitchen preparation gloves for this one because chicken mince is gooey and messy. Wine glass with a straw is optional.
Roll your chicken and bacon mix into golf ball sized balls and place on a baking tray. I rolled the balls in a little plain flour too, as they were a little too wet and gooey. Then just pop in the oven to bake for twenty minutes.
Doubling the recipe is easy to do, just two times each quantity of ingredients and you’re all set. The meatballs can keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge so you have a few days to use your leftovers if you have any!
