Meatball Parmesan Sandwich

Bread, cheese, and meatballs! Triple yum! The day I filmed this video I had my little cousins over and they ate every last crumb. Quite unfortunate for my aunt because now her kids request meatball parm sandwiches almost every other day. What’s great about meatballs is that you can make them and freeze them until you’re ready to use them.
