Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high. Add meatballs and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until browned and crispy on the outside, 4-5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in marinara and garlic powder. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce coats the meatballs.

  3. Step 3

    Split rolls open and fill each with 4 meatballs and sauce, dividing evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle mozzarella over the meatballs on each roll, dividing the cheese evenly between them.

  5. Step 5

    Return the filled rolls to the skillet over medium heat. Cover and cook until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
