The sandwiches are wonderful hot as well as cold. At a picnic, or at a buffet, place the ingredients on the table and let everyone make their own sandwiches. Add some sauteed mushrooms and sauteed onions for a real taste treat. I have a confession to make: sometimnes, when time is short, I use prepared, frozen meatballs. They are usually Italian-style in spice. Although they are not as good as these meatballs in this recipe, they will certainy do quite well in a pinch.

The makings set out for the buffet. When holding for any period of time, I add a bit of marinara sauce to keep the meatballs from drying out. It adds to the flavor of the sandwich.
