Meatball Flatbread

January 24, 2024 by Gina +

You can’t go wrong with pizza or pizza-type meals in our house. So when I had some flatbreads from Aldi I needed to use, I figured turning them into pizzas would be a hit. We always have meatballs in the freezer so with some marinara sauce, cheese, and said meatballs, we had these meatball flatbreads and they were delish. They’ve quickly become an easy weeknight dinner in our house.

I love cooking and preparing food for my family, but I am always looking for easy meals I can get on the table quickly. With two little kids, sometimes it comes down to dinner in under 30 or else they will snack themselves full. These flatbread pizzas are not only easy and quick, but everyone loves them. Thanks to frozen meatballs (fresh work great too), some ready-made flatbreads, shredded cheese, and marinara, you can have a tasty dinner on the table in no time!

I love using frozen meatballs for this pizza but you can substitute any toppings you like. It’s a risky move in my house but adding some veggies is another great option. Sometimes I like to throw a chopped salad on my part too. A salad pizza is so good too. I can’t get my kids to go for it but I love it. Otherwise, you can add a side salad to get in some vegetables.


Ingredients needed for the Meatball Flatbread

  • Ready-made flatbread (Trader Joe’s and Aldi have some good ones)
  • Shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
  • Thawed, already-cooked meatballs
  • Marinara or pizza sauce

How to Make the Meatball Flatbread

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Spread sauce over flatbread.
  • Cut meatballs in half then place most of them cut side down on sauce. Cover with cheese.
  • Use any remaining meatballs on top.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.

What’s to love about this Meatball Flatbread

  • So tasty and easy to make
  • Customizable, add whatever toppings you like
  • Quick to make and requires minimal ingredients

What other toppings can I use:

The best part is you can add whatever you like. Try more veggies or pepperoni. It’s very customizable

What to serve with this?

I think pizza always goes best with a nice chopped salad.

These Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches are made right in my 10-quart Autuku slow cooker, which means plenty of room to feed a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen.
The simple WARM/LOW/HIGH settings make it easy to set it and forget it, and the PFOA-free ceramic pot is removable, so you can bring it right to the table when itโ€™s time to serve.
Pile the saucy pulled chicken onto toasted brioche buns with creamy sesame pickle slaw and extra pickles. Save this one for your next summer gathering!
