Meatballs and Mozzarella Sandwiches created by Red_Apple_Guy

Crustly loaves filled with meatballs, sauce, mozzarella and onions and peppers heated to a crunchy, melty finish. This can be made quick and easy with frozen meatballs and ready made sauce, but we like to make our own turkey meatballs and crusty baguettes. The sandwiches in the photo are made using Bergy's Recipe #33944 (we bake them) and our own sourdough baguettes.

Hello I’m wondering...when do I add the sautéed vegetables? I’m not a chef or even a great cook for that matter...so perhaps it’s “known” when to add...a bit beyond my level. It sound so yummy...can’t wait! Thank you so much Shell

Great little sandwich. I did make Bergy's meatballs but only made two sandwiches. I used my homemade sauce, mozzarella and buns. Loved it. Will use this easy recipe many times.
