Pin a Day: Meatball Sub Sandwiches

Sometimes, a good recipe is defined by to right ingredients.  The was the case when we tried these Meatball Sub Sandwiches.   I used some of my favorite ingredients, but these may have been even tastier if I used even higher quality ingredients.  I started by cooking some meatballs in pasta sauce.  Both were from Target's Market Pantry brand.  I used Italian style meatballs and a sauce with Parmesan chees in it.  You could change the flavor based on your sauce/meatball preferences.  In an ideal world, I'd use meatballs from a little Italian deli in St. Charles, but that wasn't a option.

After the meatballs were cooked through, I assembled the sandwiches.  I used sub sandwich rolls that were soft because I don't care for crusty bread.  Plus, even if they got stale, they wouldn't be too hard.  I used provolone cheese from Target, but really wished that I had some good old St. Louis provel cheese.  I popped them into an oven heated to 400 degrees for about 5-10 minutes.

Once the cheese had melted, I pulled them out to enjoy.  The bread was nicely toasted, the meatballs were tasty and the cheese was so gooey.  We enjoyed these along with salad.  I made extra meatballs and we had these several days for lunch too.  These were relatively quick and easy and extremely tasty so I know this will be on our menu again in the future.
