Pull-Apart Meatball Sandwiches ala ~DKBB~

(original recipe from www.mccormick.com)

1 sm. jar pizza sauce (I prefer Paesana New York’s Classic Pizza Sauce, 8.5 oz)

1 16 oz. pkg. Italian-style meatballs (I prefer Carando Spicy Sicilian)

1 pkg. sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls (or 3 sm. pkgs. for a total of 12 rolls)

6 slices provolone cheese

1 to 1½ cup(s) shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

½ tsp. garlic powder

3 Tbsp. butter, melted

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook meatballs as directed on package; cool a bit then cut each one in half.
• Put pizza sauce in bowl, toss cooked cut meatballs in sauce.
• Remove rolls from packaging but do not separate; cut entire package in half horizontally, leaving bottom half slightly thicker than top half; place bottom half of rolls in baking dish large enough to hold them all.
• Layer provolone cheese over bottom half of rolls; top with meatballs and more sauce; sprinkle mozzarella cheese, then place top half of rolls, cut side down, in top of mozzarella.
• Mix melted butter with seasonings and brush tops of rolls with butter mixture.
• Cover with foil and back 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is all melted.
