INSTRUCTIONS

Use a pastry brush to brush the insides of the rolls with garlic butter. Sprinkle the inside of rolls evenly with garlic salt. Place on baking sheet and bake until slightly golden brown, but 10-12 minutes.
4. While the rolls cook, make the meatballs. Add beef, pork, 1 garlic clove, minced, 1 tsp salt, egg, crushed crackers or breadsticks, onion, parmesan cheese, fennel, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning to a bowl. Use your hands to combine the meat with the rest of the ingredients, do not over mix.
5. Form into 24 meatballs. Add 2 tsp of olive oil to a large skillet. Brown half of the meatballs. Repeat with remaining meatballs. Remove meatballs from pan and pour in red wine. Use a wooden spoon to get any brown bits off the bottom. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add meatballs in to sauce, cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
6. Once meatballs are cooked through and rolls are crisp, spoon a little bit of sauce in to each roll. Sprinkle ½ the cheese in to each roll. Nestle meatballs in rolls. Cover with remaining cheese.
