The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Sandwich recipes today......
I am hosting this month and since August is National Sandwich Month I asked the others to share a Sandwich recipe of their choice.  Let's see what everyone brought to the table.......

Meatballs on Grill

I am loathe to turn on the oven or stand over a hot pan during the heat of the summer, and would much rather be floating in my pool or enjoying a cold drink on my deck. The solution?  Our grill is used to cook nearly every dinner.  

The very best solution is when I am floating in the pool with a cold drink and Frank is manning the grill LOL.

Grilled Meatball Subs

I used baguettes for the bread, cutting it into serving-size portions.  In the future, I will use a softer bread.  I melted cheese on the bottom of the sandwich and hollowed out the top of the upper bread to hold more marinara. Then I put out small bowls of marinara for dipping.

  1. Why don't I grill meatballs every day? Because I'm obviously not brilliant like you. These sounds heavenly...especially on this sandwich!

  2. Those baguettes can be pretty chewy. Some brands from the market can be soft enough. Mexican bolillos might be perfect. I'll have to test it for you. (YUM!)
