Meatball Subs
Are you looking for an easy fifteen minutes dinner for a busy weeknight? Then this one is for you!

Frozen bag of fully cooked Italian style Turkey meatballs, a jar of tomato pasta sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese and sub rolls.

Preheat the oven on the grill option.
Sauté the meatballs with a little of olive oil to get them warm, add tomatoes sauce and simmer covered for five minutes.
Cut the sub rolls, I like to make the slit on the top that way the sauce stays in.
Add a little or a lot of mozzarella cheese to the bottom of the roll, add as much as you like of the meatballs and sauce and cover with more cheese! I added six meatballs for each and it was plenty.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the subs on it and grill for one to two minutes depending on how hot is your oven!

Enjoy!
Serves six to eight.

I loved the tart they brought me… so light، yummy and full of fresh fruit….There was a surprise inside of the tart when I took a bite of it, it had a thick layer of chocolate melted on top of the crust and a thick layer of fresh whip cream…It was amazingly delicious. Continue reading
