-
Preheat oven to 350
-
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands to combine, careful not to overwork the meat
-
Roll into meatballs (I make mine huge like baseballs)
-
Place meatballs in a large high sided baking dish
-
Pour in about 1 - 1 1/2 inch of water (this prevents them from burning)
-
Bake at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours, or until done (time will depend on size of meatballs)
-
Move meatballs into a slow cooker set to warm, cover with sauce and let flavors combine for several hours
-
Slice sub roll into 3 inch wide pieces, slice down the middle, rub bread with garlic, spread on the butter and broil or toast until browned
-
Top each roll with 1 meatball, a little sauce and garnish with cheese and basil
