Our small town Mexican restaurant has very good and affordable Mexican specials. It also has the best Italian food in town. Hard to beat a meatball sandwich with real meatballs, Italian cheese and marinara sauce on toasted garlic bun for about $7 on special.
I generally buy the buns, but a meatball sandwich is very easy to make from scratch and you'll probably like it at least as well as the best store-bought version. I usually make several pound of meatballs using elk, beef, and pork (roughly equal proportions of each meat) along with the seasonings and bake the meatballs.
I make about a gallon of spaghetti sauce (takes less than an hour to cook). I freeze the meatballs and sauce separately in small containers, enough for one meal for three or four persons. I freeze everything and it will keep well for several months.
