"This is one of those recipes you always come back to," says Jean Glacken from Elkton, Maryland. A flavorful tomato sauce and mildly spiced meatballs make a hearty sandwich filling, or they can be served over pasta. "I broil the meatballs first to quickly brown them," Jean notes.

This is an excellent recipe. I did not use any salt because I have high blood pressure, but it did not need it. I added grated low-fat mozzarella to the sandwiches. Next time I plan to put the mozzarella on the buns and broil them for a minute or so before adding the meatballs.

Very good and flavorful! This recipe is a keeper and will be making it again. This was easy to put together and I love using the crockpot.

I've never had much luck with meatballs....they were either too dry or fell apart or were greasy...so I almost didn't try this recipe, but I'm so glad that I did! These were easy to make up and just took a few minutes to brown under the broiler. I love the fact that you finish cooking them in the crock pot in the sauce - keeping them tender & juicy. I used lean ground beef along with the sausage and they had such a good flavor. I may add a jar of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce next time just so we will have a little extra for the subs. I also used quick release foil on the broiler pan for a fast clean-up. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was by far the best recipe for a meatball sub. I have searched and searched and went through countless cookbooks. This had the best taste. I used the beef broth and it was delicious! My kids are picky and it was a thumbs up for two out of three of them and my husband said it was delicious! Works for me!
