Instructions
Place the meatballs in a 9 X 13 baking dish and pour the marinara sauce over the top.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for 35 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling in an oven preheated to 375 degrees F.
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
While the meatballs are baking, cut the rolls almost in half lengthwise. Spread lots of butter to each roll spreading it on both halves. Place them on a baking sheet with the butter side up and bake for 15 minutes until they are lightly toasted.
10 Hoagie Rolls, 10 Tablespoons Butter
To make the sandwiches, spoon meatballs in the center of the bun adding more sauce as needed.
Notes
If you have any sauce left in the baking pan, spoon that into bowls and use that as extra dipping sauce. Just Scrumptious!
How do you reheat a meatball sub in the oven?
Just repeat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the sub on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 15 minutes. The bun will be toasty, and the meatballs and sauce will be hot.
