I love meatball subs, and decided to give this a try. It was very tasty! I substituted jarred marinara for the spaghetti sauce, added a little more seasoning, and a little more cheese overall - to tailor it to my own tastes. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it. I would like to experiment with other spread concoctions on the bread!

My whole family loved this recipe. My 5 y/o nephew asked if I could give him the recipe so he can have his other grandmother (who babysits him during the week) the recipe so she can make it for him too.

The 8-10 serving version of this is one of my go-to recipes. Especially when I know there is a crowd or kids-everyone loves it. I usually double or triple the recipe, because it freezes beautifully. Tastes great warmed up in the microwave the next day...but I almost never have leftovers, the trays are usually scraped clean. I add some garlic powder to the cream cheese mixture for some zip.

This is a tasty, easy recipe; I just have to plan ahead as I never have the bread on hand. I was a little skeptical about the cheese/mayo combination, but everything blends together wonderfully.

Do you think I could substite ricotta for the cream cheese? my mind is not wrapping around cream cheese??

I tripled this recipe and served it while watching the play-offs with friends. There was only one serving left at the end of the evening! It was wonderful. I made my own spaghetti sauce, which I think made it better. Definitely take the time to make the meatballs from scratch - they were really good.
