Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the sausage meat from casings and roll into 12 (1½-inch) meatballs. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. To skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté vegetables 4–6 min., until just softened, stirring occasionally.
2
To skillet, add sausage meatballs and sauté sausage 4–5 min., until golden on outside. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer 5 min.

Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the rolls in half horizontally while keeping the rolls intact. Add bottom half of rolls to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 1 meatball onto each roll square, topping with a spoonful of tomato sauce mixture. Sprinkle with the cheese and add roll top. Bake 10–20 min., until fully warmed through. Serve with any remaining tomato sauce mixture for dipping, if desired.
