Movie Night Meatball Subs

5.0(22)

I use my Recipe #124958 and Recipe #124957 (recipes posted separately) to make these for family movie nights (hence the name). They are a little less messy to eat than most meatball subs due to the hollowed-out rolls, and the unused bread chunks can be used for other purposes.

Ingredients (6)

serves

4 (6 inch) hoagie rolls, hollowed out
2 tablespoons olive oilolive-oil
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (if you like very cheesy meatball subs, you may want to have extra mozzarella on hand for topping)mozzarella
12 meatballs (I use Family Favorite Basic Meatballs, see recipe posted separately)
fresh tomato sauce (see recipe posted separately)tomato
grated parmesan cheese (fresh or canister, your preference)parmesan

Instructions (7 steps)

01Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
02Slice a thin layer off the top of each sub roll. Remove some of the bread inside to form a bread "boat". I like to reserve the unused bread chunks for fresh breadcrumbs, or they can be used in bread pudding.
03Brush inside of hollowed rolls with olive oil.
04Fill bottom of buns with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella each. Place on a baking sheet and bake until buns are lightly browned and cheese is melted.
