Tailgate Sub Sandwich

"If you live in Texas, you've probably heard of the HEB grocery chain. They put out this neat little seasonal magazine that always has great recipes. Often it uses alot of their prepackaged ingredients but I'll keep things pretty general. You can make these with individual ciabatta loaves or a big loaf that you intend to cut into serving sizes"

directions

  • If need be, prepare bread according to instructions. You can purchase the premade kind which certainly is easier, or the frozen kind and bake it yourself.
  • Heat meatballs according to instructions, or if you're making them from scratch make sure they are prepared and cooked ahead of time.
  • Slice bread in half and brush each side with tomato sauce (or bruschetta).
  • Slice meatballs in half and arrange on bottom half of bread.
  • Sprinkle a good pinch of cheese over meatballs and top with a few tomato slices and romaine leaves.
  • Secure with toothpicks if need be.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm on a mission to produce home-maker type meals on a working girl's schedule! When I was very young, my mother was a homemaker and would make these amazing meals that I'll never forget. From an early age I would browse her many cookbooks and always held an interest in the neat ideas and recipes I found. When I was older and sometimes home alone, I would find a recipe we had the ingredients for and try my hand at it. Often without permission, and often substituting things that did not go with the dish AT ALL, but a learning experience all the same. :)
