Ingredients
  

Sandwich Components
  • 4 pieces Sandwich rolls (cut with one side intact)
  • 20 pieces Cooked meatballs (your favorite recipe or frozen pre-made meatballs) Use about 4-5 meatballs per sandwich.
  • 2 cups Pasta sauce (homemade or jarred) Choose your favorite sauce.
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Can be substituted with other cheeses.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by spraying a baking sheet with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large pot, place your frozen cooked meatballs or homemade cooked meatballs.
  3. Cover the meatballs with your chosen pasta sauce and gently fold them together.
  4. Heat the meatballs and sauce on low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until everything is heated through.
Assembly
  1. Take your sandwich rolls and fill each one with as many meatballs as you can fit (usually 4-5, depending on their size).
  2. Spoon more pasta sauce over the filled rolls.
  3. Arrange the filled sandwich rolls closely on the baking sheet and top each one with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, hot, and bubbly.

Notes

Serve with a fresh green salad, crispy potato chips, garlic bread, or a light soup as an appetizer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days and reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes.
