Assembly
  1. In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat. Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Slice the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking dish.
  3. Fill each roll with meatballs and sauce, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Notes

Make sure to not overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender. You can add different spices or herbs like Italian seasoning for extra flavor. If you prefer, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for later.
