Got to say the wife did me right. I asked for something different than the weekly usual. She made meatballs from scratch and used her family recipe for sauce. I over cooked the buns because I got caught up with the kids in her absence, but was still really good.

wheres the invite?
Awesome, what kind of bread is that yo?
Tough love here: The meat to bread ratio is far too low. Need more meat, otherwise is like a cheese samich with meat flavoring. With meatballs that small - not judging - I would have split in half and stacked them up. Prolly spoon some of that tasty sauce on the top too, with a sprinkle of parsley for color.
What cheese did you use?
Where’s the beef?
Looks good, except the bread is cut wrong. You want to take a triangular prism out of the bread so the meat sits in a boat of sorts.
That looks incredible
Making me think about lunch for today. I add onions and banana peppers to my meatball subs.
The bread looks like the brat and sausage buns I get from Kroger.
I brought my lunch to work but now I'm going to pick something up. Thnx
Everyone like’s their subs different, OP apparently likes them charred and cheesy.
I like mine dry (light sauce) and meaty.
The triangle prism thing is an excellent tip. I’d never figured that out before.
Don’t know this dawg bro. The wife bought it from Kroger. All I know is its burnt bread on my part
Tough love but I accept it fireplug bro. Never made them before, but turned out well other than the bread. More the meat the better but
It was getting hairy after slicing the bread. I also used provolone cheese
Shiiiit...I’d be happy if my wife turned the stove on. Looks great!!
Can we get a recipe here for the meatballs and sauce??
If mine turned the stove on, the house would probably catch fire.
Hope you can serve those next year at the White House.
Can't speak for OP, but I combine Progresso Italian bread crumbs with Publix market ground beef (about a 5:2 ratio, beef to crumbs), plus one large egg, all in a mixing bowl. Cook 'em in a skillet on the stove top with a bit of olive oil. Brown both sides then cover and reduce heat. Add marinara and let it all simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
I have two teenage boys who claim they're the greatest meatballs in the world, and they don't hand out a lot of compliments.
@AnotherDawg can I ask what size you do for your meatballs?
I'd say large but nothing crazy, maybe the size of a medium egg. Pound of beef, mixed with the crumbs, should make about a dozen meatballs?
I serve 3-4 meatballs with marinara on a pile of pasta (I prefer linguine or fettuccini). If I were making a meatball sub I might cut them in half.
I agree with OP on provolone as the best cheese option, and I'd buy fresh sub rolls from the grocery's baker. (Publix is the best option where I am, but I know that varies depending on where you live.)
So, you've discussed cars for at least one of them, have you?
