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 4 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. With the current plan you can have 3 meatballs for only 1 point.
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!
Ingredients
- Baked Italian meatballs (the recipe makes 24 meatballs. You can have 3 meatballs for only 1 point)
- Sargento mozzarella cheese slices, cut in half
- hot dog buns (I used ones that were 4 points each)
For the sauce:
- 30 oz. Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Add the tomato sauce and seasonings to a pan. Bring to a light simmer, then cover with a lid. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce.
- Open the hot dog buns and place on a baking sheet. Add three meatballs to one side of the hot dog bun.
- Add a half slice of cheese to the other side of the hot dog bun.
- Put under the broiler until the cheese is melted.

Use ground chicken breast for the meatballs (0 pts), 647 low carb hot dog rolls (2 pts) and the cheese and these could be 3 pt meatball subs! 🙂
