Meatball subs in soggy, falling-apart buns are just the worst. That's why we recommend toasting our Tailgaters Brat Buns for this recipe. The heftier, toasty bread will stand up to all that meaty, marinara, mozzarella goodness.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pour the marinara sauce all over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Cut off one third of the mozzarella and cut the third into 12 small cubes. Grate the remaining mozzarella and set aside.

- Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce by melting 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. While constantly whisking, slowly add the milk. Add the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, then stir until completely melted. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Spread the insides of the rolls with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Toast them butter-side down on a large skillet or griddle until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Add 3 meatballs to each of the toasted rolls. Top with a good amount of the cheese sauce, some banana peppers and a sprinkle of parsley to finish.

- Use high-quality ground beef. The better the quality of the beef, the tastier the meatballs will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the meatballs rest before cooking. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
- Cook the meatballs thoroughly. Meatballs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Meatballs can be served with a variety of sauces, such as marinara sauce, tomato sauce, or Alfredo sauce.
