These easy Italian Meatball Subs combine homemade meatballs with pasta sauce and plenty of melted mozzarella all on buttered toasted sub rolls. They are quick to come together making them perfect for busy weeknights when homework, laundry and after school activities are taking precedent. I love to serve these sandwiches with Creamy Tomato Basil Soup, Cucumber Tomato Salad or Easy Baked Sweet Potato Fries.
