Ingredients

  • 1 Recipe Meatballs https://www.semperpotpie.com/the-ultimate-meatball-recipe/
  • 1 Quart Marinara Sauce
  • 4 Each Sub Sandwich Rolls
  • 1 Pound Fresh Mozzarella Or 8oz shredded Mozzarella
  • 8 Tbs Butter Softened, optional

Instructions

  • If using our meatball recipe, form the meatballs, brown the bottoms and place in a 375ยบ oven to finish cooking. 10-15 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, set the marinara on the stove top to heat.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut the sub rolls in half. If desired, butter each half of the rolls and toast, butter side down on a griddle.
  • Toast 3-5 minutes or until golden.
  • Place the bottom half of the rolls on a lined baking sheet. We use a Silpat.
  • Spoon a small amount of sauce on the bottom of each roll.
  • Line up 5-6 meatballs on each roll. Ladle sauce over the meatballs.
  • If using fresh mozzarella, slice the mozzarella into thin slices.
  • Layer the mozzarella over the sauce covered meatballs.
  • Place the rolls under the broiler. Leave the oven door open slightly and watch the rolls. Be sure the rolls do not burn. Cook 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. The cooking times will differ for sliced fresh mozzarella vs shredded low-moisture cheese.
  • Remove the baking pan from the oven. Carefully move the roll to a plate. Place the top bun on top of the melted cheese.
  • Enjoy immediately.
