Instructions
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Halve rolls.
Combine beef, breadcrumbs and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Roll mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs (24 for 4 ppl).
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 3-4 min. Add crushed tomatoes, half the Italian Seasoning, half the balsamic glaze and 1/4 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl), then gently stir to combine. (TIP: Add 1/4 cup water to each empty tomato container and swirl to get every last drop!) Reduce to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and meatballs are cooked through, 8-10 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
While meatballs and sauce cook, arrange roll halves on a baking sheet. Stir together garlic, remaining Italian Seasoning and 1 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Season with pepper. Brush or drizzle garlic-oil onto cut-sides of roll halves. Sprinkle mozzarella over top. Bake, in the top of the oven, until cheese melts, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on rolls so they don't burn!)
Whisk together remaining balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add spring mix, then toss to combine.
If desired, cut garlic bread into 1-inch slices, crosswise. Divide meatballs and sauce between bowls. Serve with salad on the side and cheesy garlic bread, for dipping.
