I really liked the idea of shaping the meat, but I knew that it was going to need more seasoning; I added garlic, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian herb seasoning. I also thought 50 mins in the oven was WAY too long - ours were done after 35, and probably could have come out 5 mins earlier. Anyway, we enjoyed this. Thanks!

This was just "ok". I used the amount of black pepper called for in the recipe because I like spiciness/pepper, but I agree with previous reviewers that it calls for way too much. I added some tomatoes and green peppers, as well as topping it with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese for the last 10 minutes of baking.

This was wonderful! It was a hit with my family! I only made two changes. Instead of 1 1/2 pounds of hamburger, I used one pound of hamburger and 1/2 pound Italian sausage. I also reduced pepper to 1 teaspoon instead of tablespoon.

I just thought this was Ok. The meatballs were missing some seasoning and came out a little too much like a hamburger for my tast. I do like the idea of baking in a log shape to help keep the sandwich together. Also, I put the bread in the oven for a few minutes to toast it prior to loading it up (to keep it from getting soggy). Then I made the sandwich and wrapped it according to the instructions. No soggy bread.

Thank goodness football season is over. Do you have any idea how many times I had to make these on Sunday???? The only thing I did different was used steak buns. Took a clove of garlic and brushed it over the inside and bottom side of bread, brushed outside of bread top with olive oil. Popped the meat inside with mozzerella cheese, put on a baking sheet baked until cheese was melted and tops were browned. The guys loved them, all through football season!!!!!!!!! Now there wifes want the recipe, don't think so!!

Not bad. Next time will season the meat differently and try different sauces for something a little different

AWESOME!!! I reduced pepper to 1 tsp as well and added the egg...best dinner I have made in a very long time!! Everyone in the house loved them and I cannot wait to cook them for friends and family. For those who make them into balls...try the loaf, I loved the idea and they don't roll off.

Everyone in my family loves these sandwiches! The kids have been begging me to make again soon...so I will be making them tonight! I follow the recipe to the "T", and it's perfect every time. We also find them very good for leftovers (if there are any) the next day. Just heat them back up in the oven until hot.

This was great. Better than any meatball sandwich you would get from a sub shop.

Why didn't I think of doing this before!?? Great time saving idea and my kids loved it because they didn't have meatballs slipping out of their sandwich. I made this the day before we were planning on having it for dinner. I sliced the meatballloaf and warmed it through in the marinara sauce on the stovetop. The only thing I will do differently is add parmesan cheese to the mixture and add the mozzerella on top. We loved it!

Great sandwich. Instead of forming into a log, I made individual meatballs. My family loved it.

I made it into meatballs. I just like the idea of a meatball sandwhich better. There's just something comfoting about biting into that big sloppy mess and getting a big mouthfull of meat. These were just OK flavor wise...not great, but not bad either.

I altered a few ingredients to fit what I had on hand and did add an egg as others suggested. Left as loaf and sliced, LOVE the concept. It was sooooo delicious. Next time I'll try with ground turkey for a healthier option. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I don't know about this one! I like it but for me - it was missing something that I could not put my finger on! I served it the second night without the sauce (just as a sandwich - but that wasn't it either. I will continue looking for a good meatball sandwich recipe...that has more kick to it!

The other reviewers who made this into meathballs crack me up! :) Umm, hello? Folks? The whole point is to avoid a sandwich that consists of small balls of meat. You know -- it's about avoiding that biting sequence that goes something like "bread, meat, sauce, more sauce, little bit of meat, whole lotta meat, lots of saucy bread, etc." While I'm sure Wyatt loves the fact that you enjoyed the recipe overall, I still find it hysterical that so many don't, umm, 'get it.' Ah well, not my problem. For my part, I used four cloves of minced garlic instead of the garlic powder and enjoyed a sandwich in which the biting sequence was more like, "bread/meat/cheese/sauce. . .bread/meat/cheese/sauce." Yum! :)
