Mix
Do not knead the meat. A gentle mix stays tender.
Bake
The sheet browns them. A simmer from raw leaves them gray.
Roll
A sturdy sub roll. A soft hot-dog bun dissolves.
Cheese
On at the end so it melts instead of boiling in the sauce.

FAQ
Pork and beef?
Half and half is fine. All beef is what this mix is written for.
No breadcrumbs?
A slice of torn bread soaked in milk.
Sauce from a jar?
Yes. Warm it before the meatballs go in.
Ahead?
Meatballs in sauce keep 3 days. Build the sub when you eat.
