Italian Meatball Subs

Get a crusty sub roll, spread it with butter, garlic salt and pop in under the broiler for a few minutes and then make your sandwich.
It is yummy and easy.

Excellent recipe. I usually top mine with mozzarella cheese. My wife likes provalone. After the sub is built I like to wrap mine in foil and bake at about 425 for 10-15 minutes. The sauce soaks a bit into the roll, seems to hold together better when I eat it. Lol, nothing I hate more than a meatball rolling away.

IC - I bake mine too - and I like to top the spaghetti sauce with a provolone sauce - it is to die for! Gooey and delicious!
