Italian Meatball Subs

Makes: 4 sandwiches

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound bulk Italian pork sausage
1/4 cup Progresso Plain Bread Crumbs
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce
2 (11 ounce) cans Pillsbury refrigerated crusty French loaf
4 ounces (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

Bake bread as directed on package. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, bread crumbs, onion and egg; mix well. Shape into 16 (1 1/2-inch) balls.

In medium skillet, cook meatballs over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned, turning frequently. Drain. Add pizza sauce. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked.

Slice each loaf open, sandwich-style. Place 8 meatballs in each loaf. Spoon sauce over meatballs. Cut loaves in half to make four sandwiches. Sprinkle with cheese.
