1 cup marinara sauce (or as needed)
8–10 cooked meatballs

4 slices mozzarella cheese

- Place the assembled sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
You can use frozen meatballs; thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat before assembling.
Lightly toast the buns before assembling for added texture and to prevent sogginess.
Add Parmesan cheese, provolone, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Store leftover meatballs and sauce separately from the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat meatballs and sauce before assembling with fresh bread and cheese for best results.
Avoid freezing fully assembled sandwiches as the bread may become soggy when reheated.
