Ingredients
- 14 oz. frozen meatballs
- 25 oz pasta sauce
- 4 torpedo rolls or sub rolls
- ½ cup Italian Style Cheese Blend
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning divided
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the jar of pasta sauce, and the bag of frozen meatballs (depending on their size, you'll want about 5 or 6 meatballs per sandwich, so 20-24 meatballs). Cook the meatballs and sauce over medium heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the broiler on low. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil, and place the 4 rolls on it.
- If no already cut, slice the rolls lengthwise, but not all the way through. Spread a small amount sauce into the bottom of each roll and put 5-6 meatballs into each roll.
- Sprinkle with sandwich with about 2 teaspoons of the chopped fresh basil, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning. Cover each sandwich with 1-2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese.
- Place pan into oven and broil for about 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and rolls are toasted. Sprinkle with remaining basil, and slightly cool before serving.
