My husband and I really like French onion soup but I wanted to do something different with it. This is what I came up with. We both really enjoyed this recipe as a sub and the leftovers with noodles as I have added at the end of the recipe. I hope everyone that tries this enjoys as much as we do.

This sub is super easy and yummy. The onion and beef flavors soak into the meat and create fantastic meatballs. We melted the cheese in the oven along with toasting the bun like Nelda suggested and they were amazing. Your friends will think you spent some time making these (it'll be our secret about how easy they are). Between the gooey melted cheese and the caramelized onions, this is better than any sub you can buy at the store. We took some of the extra broth and served it on the side... so good. Also, we put 4 meatballs on each sub. The Test Kitchen

How to Make French Onion Meatball Sub

Step-by-Step

Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper.
Form into about 24 meatballs.
Bake meatballs in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes or until done.
In Crock Pot combine au jus mix, water, and beef broth. Whisk together, Add French onion soup and meatballs into the Crock Pot. Heat on high an hour or until heated through.
While everything is in the Crock Pot, caramelize the onions in a skillet.
Toast rolls in a skillet with butter.
Serve on sub rolls with cheese and caramelized onions.
Use any condiments you would like on the sub, we like mayonnaise or horseradish.
For leftover meatballs: strain soup from meatballs into a pan. Add another can of French onion soup, 1 package brown gravy, 1/2 cup beef broth and meatballs. Heat through. Cook wide noodles, drain and add meatball mixture to noodles. I serve it with salad and garlic bread.
