Meatball Grinders

We call them Grinders, Hoagies, Subs, Submarine Sandwiches, etc., depending on what area of my country you reside at.  Basically all they are is a meat filled sandwich with vegetables, such as, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, olives, peppers, etc.., which can be mixed and matched or even optional. Most of the time they are heated in an oven to toast the bread aka: Grinder Roll.  The options are endless at how you would go about making them and most are a personal choice.  They are quick, easy and filling, as well as nutritious, depending on the toppings and meats you choose.


What you will need:
1-Large Baking Sheet lined with Aluminum Foil or Parchment Paper
1-Ladle
1-Sharp Knife
Plates to serve

**Makes 4-Grinders**

Ingredients:
20-Home made meatballs. **I gave my home made recipe on my blog,  or packaged if you didn't make mine.**
4-Grinder Rolls ( Hoagie Rolls, Sub Rolls, etc.,.)
8-Slices of American Cheese or Cheese of your choice
Spaghetti Sauce **I gave my home made recipe on my blog. Or use Jar or canned if you didn't make mine.*

Optional Ingredients:
Shredded Lettuce, Sliced Onions, Pickles, Peppers, Black or Green Olives, Grated Parmesan Cheese, etc.,..

Preheat your oven to 375-Degrees Fahrenheit

Directions:
Cut the grinder roll lengthwise down the middle with your sharp knife, open up the roll. Repeat with the other 3-grinder rolls.

Place the split rolls on to your lined baking sheet, side by side. Add 2-slices of cheese to one side of each roll.  Add in the meatballs, depending on the size of your rolls, 4-5 will fit perfectly. Add more if you like.  Ladle the sauce over top of the meatballs, add a little or a lot depending on your preference.

Put lined baking sheet with the grinders in to the oven for 5-7 minutes until the rolls are a light golden brown and the cheese has melted.  Remove and place baking sheet on a heat resistant surface. Add the optional ingredients if you prefer, then serve.

*You can eat them without placing in the oven, just make sure that the meatballs have been warmed, they will melt the cheese.*
