4. Toast rolls in the 425-degree oven for 2-3 minutes.

6. Place meatballs and sauce on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Top with shredded cheese and Parmesan.
7. Bake subs, uncovered, for approximately 3-5 minutes (or until meatballs are heated through, cheese is melted, and rolls are toasted).

Recipe Notes
*I used Rosina brand.
**For purposes of calculating the nutritional information, I used Arnold Italian rolls (which are 190 calories each).
CROCK POT METHOD:
Place a bag of meatballs and 1 jar of marinara sauce in a slow cooker. If you're using a Crock Pot, there's no need to thaw frozen meatballs before you
dump them into the pot.
Cook meatballs in the sauce on LOW for 3-4 hours, or until meatballs are heated through. Assemble and bake meatball subs according to recipe instructions
above.
COOK'S TIPS:
list of 7 items
• Use standard size frozen meatballs or bite-size frozen meatballs -- whatever you prefer.
• Make a meatball hero with either turkey meatballs, beef meatballs, or meatballs that are made with beef, pork and veal.
• Prepare the meatball subs in the oven or in the slow cooker -- both instructions are provided below.
• Use homemade cooked meatballs if you have them! You can find my favorite recipe for homemade turkey meatballs
HERE.
• Pick your favorite cheese for topping! We like mozzarella, provolone, and/or Parmesan.
• I should also note that the ingredient measurements are really just ballpark estimates. You can certainly add more sauce, more cheese, and more meatballs
to get your meatball subs exactly how YOU like them!
• You can adjust the ingredients to prepare just one sub (or more) at a time. The cooking instructions remain the same.
