Meatball Sandwiches

This is a family favorite and a simple and quick recipe...as fast as spaghetti!

Ingredients:
6 wheat subs
1 package of frozen meatballs
1 can of Ragu sauce (I like mushroom or traditional)
lettuce, washed and cut
parmasean cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Directions:
1- Cut your subs in half and lay them open on a cookie sheet sprinkled with parmasean cheese. Broil in oven on low for about 5 min. (Watch closely, they will toast fast...even on low)
2- Heat meatballs over medium-high heat in a small pan for about 10 min or until cooked through, rinse and drain.
3- Add sauce to pan with rinsed meatballs and cook on medium heat for another 5 min or until sauce is warm.
4- Place meatball and sauce on toasted sub sprinkled with shredded lettuce. Enjoy!

I have tried to make these with real meatballs rather then frozen but I am still working on perfecting a meatball recipe....check back soon if you are interested.

 

Great Idea from Grandma!

I don’t know why I have never thought to do this before, but it was a real winner while visiting Grandma.  We plan to save our containers from here on out! ; )

We liked stacking the containers to the ceiling and building pyramids!!  The best part was knocking them down! ; )
