  1. Preheat oven to 450f and set oven rack to middle. Heat meatballs and sauce in a pot until the meatballs are warmed all the way through.
  2. Grate 1 pound of mozzarella cheese.
  3. Slice 2 large loaves of Italian bread and place on a sheet pan. Evenly distribute 2 cups of sauce onto inside of the 2 loaves.
  4. Layer the meatballs onto the bread and top with the grated mozzarella. Evenly distribute the grated parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella.
  5. Bake the meatball heroes/subs until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is toasty (about 10 minutes). Remove from oven and cut in half. Recipe makes four 8" long heroes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Recipe uses 2 large loaves of Italian bread (about a 16" long loaf)
  • Each loaf will yield two 7-8" long meatball sandwiches.
  • Good quality homemade sauce and meatballs will produce best results.
  • Whole milk block mozzarella is recommended.
  • Heat the sauce and meatballs prior to layering them on the bread so that the interior of the meatball is hot after the short baking time.
  • Serve the meatball heroes with more grated parmesan cheese.
  • Serve with extra sauce on the side for anyone who desires more or likes to dip.
