Meatball Subs

(from lawmama’s recipe box)

This recipe makes a lot. I halve the recipe (don’t ask about the 1/2 egg, it is messy) for our family and still have meatballs to freeze. I freeze the extras before I bake them and then pull them from the freezer and put them directly in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. With the whole recipe, I can usually get about 25-30 meatballs.
