Note

Ensure the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160ðF for food safety.

You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, though the texture may differ slightly.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

For extra flavor, toast the sandwich rolls lightly before adding the meatballs.

If the sauce seems too thick after baking, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it.
