About

Sub-tastic Casserole sure sounds enthusiastic! In fact, it's as enthusiastic as it is tasty! It's the beloved meatball submarine sandwich made into a casserole: it even uses buttery biscuits as the breading, so you don't miss out on any of that sandwich satisfaction! Of course, it can't be a Sub-tastic Casserole without the rich marinara sauce, the juicy meatballs, or the melty mozzarella cheese! Now, this is how you do lunch!
