Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine all Meatballs ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Roll mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
While meatballs are baking, prepare the Sauce by combining all Sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add cooked meatballs to the Sauce and simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat.
Slice sub rolls and place on a baking sheet. Top each roll with meatballs and sauce.
Sprinkle with Shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
