There are a few things I did to keep these meatball subs low in points.
The first thing was I used a hot dog bun instead of a sub bun. The one I used was 3 points, it was the Kroger brand white hot dog bun.
You definitely want to doublecheck the points of your bun. Some regular hot dog buns are 4-5 points.
Another idea is to use a wheat hot dog bun which can be as low as 2 points.
The meatballs I used are from my baked Italian meatball recipe. They are only 1 point per meatball – that’s for blue, green and purple.
I did a simple pasta sauce that was 0 points.
Finally we get to the cheese. I used Sargento mozzarella slices which are 2 points per slice. Since I used hot dog buns I only needed a half slice which was one point.
If you eat this meatball sub and you’re not full I would be shocked!
