• 3. Split the buns in half long ways (so cut them in half as you would if making a sandwhich, but split them all the way through). Lay the buns on a boiling pan and brush with oil. Place under the broiler until lightly toasted.
• 4. Remove buns from the broiler and spread 2 tablespoon of sauce on each of the toasted buns. Cut the meatballs in half and place 4 halved meatballs on the bun cut side down. Top with mozzarella cheese and return it to the broiler. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly. We pour the remaining sauce into the bowl and use it for dipping or adding to sandwiches. If using optional sweet onion and pepper, remove from the cooker and place in a bowl with the sauce. Serve with a salad or fries!!! Enjoy!!
