Don Pepino Pizza Sauce: one 28 oz can & one 15 oz can

Sun of Italy Shredded Pizza Cheese (Mozzarella & Provolone): one 8 oz package

Butterball Turkey Meatballs: one 25 oz package(50 meatballs), or Mama Lucia Meatballs if you prefer beef (use a good quality meatball; some of the off-brand meatballs will dissolve in the sauce as it heats)

Italian Toothpick Flags

Directions

Thaw the meatballs in a microwave
While meatballs are thawing, begin heating pizza sauce in a 3 quart non-stick sauce pan. Add the shredded cheese so it can soften as the sauce heats.
When the meatballs are pretty well thawed, add them to the sauce and cheese in the sauce pan. Continue heating until cheese is melted and meatballs are warm.
Spoon 4 meatballs and sauce onto each hot dog roll.
Insert Italian toothpick flags and serve
