Well this was my first experience in making Hoagies and we throughly enjoyed , I scaled back for 3 srves and got 16 balls but only needed 4 per roll so had a serve of balls and sauce which will be used in sandwiches for lunch and I seved with recipe #225836 on the side wich was a great complemtnt to the Hogie, Thank you CoffeeB for tor the recipe and lazyme for the recommendation.

Delicious sammy! I choose to use ground turkey instead of the beef and halved the recipe. I also didn't shape the meat into balls. Instead made cylinders, as I don't care for the balls moving around and falling off of the bun. As a result, I didn't heat them in the sauce. Spooned it on top instead and used provolone cheese. Personal preference. :)

Well. Well. Well. The. Best. Ever. I followed this exactly, and totally would not change anything. Ok, I quartered it, but still this is the bomb. You don't need my accolades to make this a winner, but still I will say...it is. I love, love, love the use of saltines.Seriously, this is a under utilized addition that really is economical and tastes great! I even kept it *the sandwich in the oven a bit until DH came home, and it only made it more delicious. How wonderful! Thanks so much CB, you made my day! Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* October 2009
