1/2 piece jalapeno, minced
1/2 medium onion, minced
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried parsley

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix together the veal, bread crumbs, cereal flakes, onion, jalapeno, 2 tablespoons of the minced garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and egg. Shape the mixture into palm-sized meatballs and arrange in a glass baking dish.
3
Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes.

While the meatballs are baking, slice the hoagie rolls in half. Brush the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle them with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of minced garlic along the inside (cut side) of the rolls. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and put them in the oven 2-3 minutes before the meatballs are done baking.
5
Take both the meatballs and hoagie rolls out of the oven. Sprinkle cheese along the insides of both rolls. Arrange the meatballs on top of the cheese. Spoon the spaghetti sauce over the meatballs. Place the sandwiches back in the oven for another few minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warm. Leave the sandwiches longer if you want toastier bread.
