Movie Night Meatball Subs

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 4 (6 inch) hoagie rolls, hollowed out
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (if you like very cheesy meatball subs, you may want to have extra mozzarella on hand for topping)
• 12 meatballs (i use family favorite basic meatballs, see recipe posted separately)
• fresh tomato sauce (see recipe posted separately)
• grated parmesan cheese (fresh or canister, your preference)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450 degrees f.
• 2 slice a thin layer off the top of each sub roll. remove some of the bread inside to form a bread "boat". i like to reserve the unused bread chunks for fresh breadcrumbs, or they can be used in bread pudding.
• 3 brush inside of hollowed rolls with olive oil.
• 4 fill bottom of buns with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella each. place on a baking sheet and bake until buns are lightly browned and cheese is melted.
• 5 fill subs with fresh tomato sauce and 3 meatballs. top with more sauce, sprinkle with the grated cheese (and more mozzarella if you like).
• 6 return subs to oven briefly, just to melt the cheese on top.
• 7 be sure to have lots of napkins handy, and enjoy.
