A delightful twist on the classic meatball sandwich, featuring a creamy spread and melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps the cheese melt perfectly.
In a large pot, combine the frozen meatballs and spaghetti sauce.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pot.
Heat over medium heat until the meatballs are thoroughly warmed.
Cover the pot to retain heat and speed up the warming process.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Slice the sub rolls horizontally using a serrated bread knife.
Be gentle to avoid crushing the rolls.
Spread the cream cheese mixture on the inside of each roll.
Apply an even layer for consistent flavor in every bite.
Spoon the warmed meatballs and sauce onto the bottom halves of the rolls.
Use a slotted spoon to avoid excess sauce making the bread soggy.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and place the top halves of the rolls on.
Press gently to secure the sandwich.
Place the sandwiches on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Check occasionally to prevent over-browning.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
Pair with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
