Description
This crunchy, cheesy snack recipe is bound to win oohs and aahs at your next football party. Cutting the meaty open-face sandwich into two-inch pieces makes it fun and easy to eat, and your guests can even dip it in extra sauce. Baking the meatball mixture and garlic bread together not only makes quick work of this easy sandwich, it also results in juicy, tender meat and the crispiest, crunchiest garlic bread ever. Because this combo needs to spend a while in a very hot oven, it's important to use a bread with a soft crust, such as an Italian- or Portuguese-style loaf, rather than a crusty French baguette that would bake up too hard. If you can't find one long loaf, feel free to substitute two 9-inch sub or hoagie rolls.
