Toasted Meatball Sub Sandwiches

One thing that I love about my Simple Italian Meatball recipe is that it makes a huge batch.  We usually eat half right away, and I stick the other half in the freezer.

Today I pulled out those meatballs, piled them on hoagie buns, and topped them with mozzarella cheese and some Simple Marinara Sauce that I had leftover in the fridge. I let the kids choose the toppings of pepperonis and/or pepperoncinis.

We stuck them in the oven for a few minutes and out came these scrumptious, toasty, melty sandwiches.
