Meatball Sub Sandwiches with Mushrooms and Cheese

My favorite sandwich from a sub shop is Meatball Sub Sandwiches with Mushrooms and Cheese and now it's even better made at home. These meatballs are simply the best; adding mushrooms and cheese sure didn't hurt!

Ingredients

For the French Bread

1 loaf French bread
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic

To Make the Sandwich

3 cups Spaghetti Sauce homemade or jarred
Approximately 2 lbs of prepared meatballs
2 Tbsp Butter
8 oz mushrooms
6 oz swiss cheese grated or sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice the French bread in half. Melt together the olive oil and butter and use a pastry brush to brush the cut surface of the bread with the melted mixture. Cut the garlic cloves in half and rub the tops of the bread with the cut halves. Bake for approximately 10 minutes until the bread surface is toasted. Remove from oven; leave oven on.
While the bread is baking, combine the spaghetti sauce and meatballs in a large pan on medium heat. Bring to heat, then simmer for at least 10 minutes.
Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet, add mushrooms and saute for 5-7 minutes, until softened and moisture has cooked off.
When the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Top with meatballs and sauce, then mushrooms and finish with the Swiss cheese.
Return the loaves to the oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove from oven, slice and serve.
