For maryb and anon, I intend to use Kings Hawaiian Dinner rolls and cut each meatball in half to better fit it to the dinner roll. I'll probably use my own Swedish Meatball recipe and sauce. Good idea though, and using full size sub rolls for a main dish serving fits well, too.
1/30/2012 01:36:22 PM Report AbuseThe picture looks like there were multiple meatballs for each bun. Is it possible that this recipe is not really for 24 servings?
1/23/2012 02:30:12 PM Report AbuseWe made a slight change: We used this recipe on FULL-SIZED sub rolls - it was a big hit. My high-school aged boys would rather eat these subs than the ones at the"sub" store. The vinegar and all the onions make this delicious. Thanks -
