Chili Meat Ball Subs (Vegan)
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • ¾ c unsweetened almond milk (or other milk)
  • ½ c nutritional yeast
  • ¼ tsp liquid smoke
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ ts onion powder
  • dash paprika
  • ½ tsp soy sauce (or GF/soy free substitute)
  • Up to 2 tbsp cornstarch + 4 tbsp water
  • Chili meat balls, prepared
  • Sub or Hoagie buns (whole wheat, GF or “regular”)
Instructions
  1. Mix tomatoes (undrained!) through soy sauce in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
  2. Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and whisk into sauce. Bring to an almost-boil and reduce heat to thicken. If necessary, add an additional 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to reach desired thickness (for these sandwiches, I went the extra thick route so I wouldn't make a mess eating them!)
  3. Lightly toast hoagie buns in the oven, if desired. Add 3 – 4 meatballs per sub (or whatever will fit) and top with cheese sauce.
