Have leftover meatballs and want a quick, simple and delicious way to use them? Our 5-minute Meatball Toast is it! When we make spaghetti dinners we usually have leftover meatballs and use them in other ways throughout the week, like making meatball parmesan subs and this 4 ingredient meatball toast.
Our favorite meatballs to use are our slow cooker Italian meatballs. Use store bought sliced bread to keep it real simple, or get fancy about it and make homemade garlic bread, white bread or Italian bread.
In addition to meatball toast being a quick and easy lunch or dinner, it works as a side dish for fried spaghetti or slow cooker spaghetti and meatsauce...and other Italian pasta dinners!

Why You'll Love Meatball Toast
- It takes 5 minutes to make.
- You can use any bread you have.
- The flavor combination can't be beat!
Ingredients
To make meatball toast you need 4 ingredients:
- Sandwich bread: or other bread loaf slices such as Italian bread or garlic bread.
- Marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce: try this homemade spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce. Pizza sauce works too!
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Cooked meatballs: using store brought frozen meatballs makes it easy, but if you have leftover homemade meatballs on hand, that is even better!
Kristina's Tips
Toast the bread before adding the toppings, then toast or broil again to melt the cheese. This will make the bread crispy rather than soggy.
Instructions
- Toast the sandwich bread sliced to desired doneness. Remove from the toaster.
- Spread each toasted bread slice with marinara sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and top with sliced meatballs.
- Toast or broil again until the mozzarella cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
How To Store
Wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Meatball toast can be frozen for up to 6 months
How To Reheat
Reheat in the toaster, oven or air fryer until warmed through.
