Ingredients
- 1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temerature
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided use
- 1 bag frozen meatballs thawed
- 28 ounce jar pasta sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
-
Arrange bread slices in a single layer in an ungreased 9 x 13 baking dish. Fill in any gaps with pieces of bread.
-
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and seasonings.
-
Spread mixture over bread slices.
-
Sprinkle with ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
-
Gently mix together spaghetti sauce and meatballs.
-
Spoon over cheese.
-
Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
-
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
Notes
- For a firmer bread base, I recommend toasting the bread first. You can place the dish into the oven (on the broiler setting) and toast both sides. It should only take a minute or two.
- Note: frozen meatball packages come in varying sizes – anywhere from 18 ounces to 32 ounces. This recipe will accommodate most of those sizes. As long as you are grabbing a standard size bag and not a family size bag, it will work.
