Tasty Meatball Sub Sandwiches

These incredible Tasty Meatball Sub Sandwiches are the perfect combination of sauciness and cheesiness. They are quick and easy to assemble and popular among both the kids and the adults.
For some sub assembling tips start with a fluffy hoagie bun and toast it to your liking. You can leave the bun as is, but the pre toasting of the bread prevents some sogginess from the sauce. Brush the bread with some butter, feel free to add seasoning like garlic, etc. to the butter for a boosted flavor. Don’t forget to top with cheese! This recipe uses asiago but use what you have or whatever your favorite is! Once topped with cheese, toast or put under the broiler to melt it before serving.
When the cheese is melted remove from the oven and stack with fresh arugula, two veal meatballs and more cheese (2 slices of mozzarella). Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted. Remove from the oven again, and if you love cheese as much as us to top with grated parmesan cheese and some fresh basil. Best served with a side of warmed marinara sauce!
