Ingredients

• 24 pieces Frozen meatballs
• 3 cups Marinara sauce
• 6 pieces Sub rolls
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 6 slices Provolone cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat. Add the frozen meatballs and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are heated through.

Step 3

While the meatballs are cooking, slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise and arrange them cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush the butter mixture onto the cut sides of the sub rolls.

Step 5

Toast the sub rolls in the oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Step 6

Remove the casserole dish from the oven and spoon the meatballs and marinara sauce evenly over the rolls.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs, followed by the slices of provolone cheese. Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.

Step 9

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into portions and enjoy the cheesy, saucy sub goodness!
