Meatball Subs
The preparation time for this recipe is somewhat misleading since most of the preparation for this recipe is accomplished in the meatball preparation. Still, this makes for a simple-yet-wonderful leftover dish. Originally served as part of: Meatball Subs.
Ingredients
- 10 Meatballs
- 5 slices provolone cheese
- 1 8 inch sub roll (cut in half)
Instructions
We cut our sub roll in half - one half for each of us (Chris gets the larger one, of course). We split open each half. On each, we layer provolone cheese.
We re-heat the meatballs in the microwave, which takes about 5 minutes for us. We want the meatballs hot, but not so hot that they start to dry out.
We put the meatballs on the cheese, cutting some of the meatballs to fit.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
