    Meatball Sandwiches

    My youngest requested meatball sandwiches for dinner. I had some meatballs in the freezer. I like to make them up on a weekend and then flash freeze the extras so I can pull out a few when needed for quick dinners like this or to throw in some soup (see meatball, pasta and spinach soup). …
