Gather ingredients from Westerly Packing Company, including hot Italian sausage, sweet Italian sausage, and guanciale.

Dice guanciale into small cubes.

Combine 1/2 pound hot sausage, 1/2 pound sweet sausage, and 4 oz guanciale in a bowl.

Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium heat and add oil to the surface.

Add the meat mixture to the griddle and break it up into small pieces while cooking until browned.

Transfer the browned meat to a pot and add a jar of Buddy Cianci's marinara sauce.

Simmer the meat and sauce on low heat for a couple of hours.

Form 7 meatballs using the meatball mix, slightly larger than golf balls.

Heat the Blackstone griddle and add oil.

Place a meatball on the griddle, cover with wax paper, and use a burger smasher to flatten it.

Cook the meatball patties for a couple of minutes before flipping them over with a large spatula.

Toast the Italian bread by rubbing a stick of butter on the griddle and placing the sliced bread on top.

Press the bread down to ensure it gets coated in butter and lightly toast for about a minute.

Spread a layer of the meat sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bread.

Stack the meatball patties on top of the sauce.

Add more sauce on top of the meatballs without skimping.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the sauce and meatballs, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Place the assembled sub in an oven preheated to 350°F until the cheese is melted.
