Favorite Meatball Sandwiches image

With all the cattle ranchers in our state, these sandwiches are a great way to use ground beef. I've done a lot of traveling and tried a lot of recipes, but I think this is one of the best I've ever tasted. It makes a hearty meal.

These meatballs are the best! I've tried many different recipes, but this one is my favorite. The meatballs are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is to die for.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but these were actually pretty good. The sauce was especially flavorful.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve them with spaghetti and meatballs, but they're also great on sandwiches.

Easy to make and oh so good! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious.

The meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more breadcrumbs to the meatball mixture next time.

These meatballs were a hit! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and the meatballs were tender and juicy. I served them on hoagie rolls with melted provolone cheese and they were a huge success. Will de
