SANDWICH ASSEMBLY:

  • Place 24 bottom portions of hoagie buns on each sheet pan, 4 down and 6 across.
  • Portion 5 BBQ meatballs with sauce onto the bottom half of each hoagie.
  • Portion ½ ounce of cheese to determine portion size. Place ½ ounce of cheese on top of meatballs and sauce.
  • Cover with the top portion of the hoagie.
  • Prepare the sandwiches as close to service as possible to prevent a soggy bun.
  • Hoagies may be wrapped in deli paper, waxed paper, foil wrap, plastic wrap, or placed in sandwich bags.
  • Place each hoagie in a steamtable pan (12" x 20" x 2½") lined with pan liners.
  • Prepare in batches to maintain quality.

Serve immediately, or cover the pan with lid, foil, or plastic wrap. If foil or plastic wrap is used, cut holes in it to allow steam to escape. Place the
pan in warmer until ready for service.

CCP: Cover and hold for service at 135 degrees F or higher.

CCP:  Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher.  Check temperature every 30 minutes.  Unassembled leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours. For best quality, assembled sandwiches should be discarded.
