  • Portion 5 BBQ meatballs with sauce onto the bottom half of hoagie.
  • Place ½ ounce of cheese on top of meatballs and sauce.
  • Cover with the top portion of the hoagie. Prepare as close to service as possible to prevent a soggy bun.

  • Place each hoagie in steamtable pans (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
