THE CLASSIC RHODE ISLAND GRINDER

Steps:

• Brush the inside of the torpedo roll with generous amount olive oil and a drizzle of red wine vinegar.
• On one side of the roll, place a single layer of thin sliced onions, then a layer of tomato slices.
• Add as much lettuce/greens as desired.
• Continue to place layers of Italian meats and cheese on the roll.
• Top the filled side of the torpedo roll with the other side of the roll.

EASY MEATBALL GRINDER

Steps:

• Place each half of the roll in the toaster.
• While roll is toasting, heat up meatballs in sauce in the microwave.
• When roll is toasted to your liking, place both halves on a micro safe plate, cut side up.
• Spoon meatballs (I cut them in half) and sauce equally over each side and sprinkle with cheese.
