I love meatball subs, and am planning on this recipe for a kids' function coming up. The recipe I got (not directly from the PC, unfortunately) said to bake the meatballs in a 9x13" pan. Do they mean a stone? (Deep dish baker?)
 
If I was you I would either cook them on a large bar pan or in the rectangle baker

OLD meatball sub recipe

The best thing to do with old meatballs is to throw them away.

Especially if they're really old.
 
The closest we have to 9x13 is our rectangle baker

Thanks, all! I used a large bar pan, and they came out great! (I only made the meatballs and sauce, and put them over spaghetti.) YUM!
