Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread Subs are easy to make and customize. Whether you’re a fan of traditional marinara or you prefer a spicy kick, you can adjust the flavors to suit your tastes. This recipe gives you the base for a perfectly cheesy, garlicky sub that’s filled with classic spaghetti, but feel free to throw in extra veggies, spices, or even sausage for a bolder taste.

The Perfect Blend of Flavors and Textures

What sets these Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread Subs apart is the combination of textures and flavors in every bite. The hollowed-out sub buns become crunchy on the outside while remaining soft and chewy on the inside, soaking up the spaghetti sauce. The garlic seasoning adds a savory punch, and the mozzarella cheese melts into gooey perfection on top. When you bite into it, you get a mix of warm pasta, flavorful beef, and melted cheese—all wrapped in crispy, buttery bread.

This dish is comfort food at its finest, and it’s easy to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand.

Recipe: Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread Subs

Ingredients:

• Spaghetti noodles (about 8 oz.)
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 jar Prego spaghetti sauce (24 oz.)
• 4 sub buns
• Spray butter (or melted butter)
• Lawry’s Garlic Seasoning
• 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions:

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. While the pasta is boiling, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
2. Combine the spaghetti and sauce. Drain the cooked noodles and mix them with the ground beef and Prego spaghetti sauce. Stir until everything is well coated with sauce.
3. Prep the sub buns. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Hollow out the centers of the sub buns to create a space for the spaghetti mixture. Spray the buns with butter (or brush with melted butter) and sprinkle generously with Lawry’s Garlic Seasoning.
4. Fill and top the subs. Stuff the prepared sub buns with the spaghetti mixture, filling them completely. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake. Place the filled subs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve hot and enjoy! These subs are best eaten right out of the oven for maximum cheesiness and crunch.

For your recipe on Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread Subs, I found some additional tips and variations to enhance the dish. One popular approach includes using a combination of ground beef and sausage for a richer flavor profile. Many recipes suggest adding diced onions and Italian seasoning to the meat mixture, and then simmering the sauce before combining it with cooked spaghetti. Hollowing out a loaf of bread or sub buns, brushing them with garlic butter, and toasting them before stuffing adds a wonderful crunch to the dish(HannaS(Princess PinkyGirl).

Once filled with the spaghetti and sauce, topping with both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese will give a gooey, melty finish after baking(Cooking Panda). You can also experiment by adding herbs like parsley or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
