The Mama Mancini’s Meatball Sandwich

By using your Mama Mancini’s Beef or Turkey meatballs n sauce to make sandwiches you will end up with an absolutely delicious meal. I suggest using 1.5 meatballs for each 6-8″ sandwich along with 6 ounces of sauce and your favorite cheese. Pictured here is a sandwich I make often, the ingredients are listed below.

You’ll need:

2 6″-8″ sub rolls
3 meatballs fully thawed
6 ounces of sauce fully thawed.
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella
1 tbs grated Romano or Parmesan cheese.
1 tbs olive oil (optional)
2 tbs chopped basil (optional)

Directions:

Slice 3 meatballs in half and place in a pot with 6-ounces of sauce and heat for 5-10 minutes until heated through OR in a microwaveable container and heat on high for 2-3 minutes
Slice your bread and sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on the bottom bread halves
Spoon 1.5 ounces of sauce on top of the mozzarella on each bread half
Layer your 3-halved meatballs on each of the sandwiches
Top with balance of mozzarella cheese and sauce
Place the two meatball sandwiches (not the tops) on a baking tray and place in a 400 degree heated oven or under a broiler till the cheese is melted
Remove and top with a drizzle of olive oil, grated cheese and chopped basil
Place the top of the bread on each sandwich.

Topping options:

Shredded provolone cheese
Chopped hot peppers
Chopped sweet peppers
Grilled eggplant slices
Sautéed broccoli di Rabe or broccoli
Ricotta cheese spread on the bread
Or your favorite topping!

The options are endless! I only recommend using 3-1/2 meatballs for the 6″-8″ sandwich because they are jumbo meatballs.
