You’ll start off by mixing up some meatballs. This is really the hardest part of making these sandwiches. They take a few minutes, but are so worth it.

The meatballs get partially baked in the oven before going into the sauce. The sauce that will transform these simple meatballs into a swoon-worthy sandwich.

I put my electric skillet to use when I made these, but you can use your slow cooker if you like. See the note in the recipe below.

Layer the meatballs onto a nice roll that you’ve lined with some slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese and you have a feast! These are great sandwiches to serve at a football party. You could even serve them on little buns and make them sliders.

Enjoy…and don’t forget the napkins!
