16 1.5 ounce meatballs (homemade or store-bought)

2 cups

tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Directions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2

    In a small mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce ingredients, mix well and set aside.

  • Step 3

    In a large mixing bowl, combine meatball ingredients and mix thoroughly. Divide mixture into approximately 14-16 1.5 ounce meatballs.

  • Step 4

    Layer meatballs into a slow cooker that has been coated with olive oil cooking spray. Cook meatballs on high for 2 hours. After two hours, top meatballs with the tomato sauce mixture, but do not stir. Cook on high for an hour.

  • Step 5

    Open the slow cooker, and gently stir the meatballs. Cook for one additional hour.

    When ready to eat, open remaining sub buns and place on a clean baking sheet. Layer each open-face sub bun with 2 slices of provolone cheese and place in the oven for remaining 2-3 minutes of cook time. Remove meatballs and sub buns from oven when thoroughly cooked and cheese is melted.

  • Step 7

    Serve approximately three meatballs per sub bun with the desired amount of tomato sauce and enjoy your Meatball Hero.
