Meatball Sub Casserole Recipe 425

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat garlic bread with spread side up on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until warm and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring spaghetti sauce to a boil in a large pot. Place frozen meatballs into sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meatballs are heated through, about 20 minutes.
• Tear garlic bread into bite-size pieces and spread into bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour spaghetti sauce and meatballs over garlic bread, coating bread with sauce and distributing meatballs evenly. Spread mozzarella cheese over top in a layer, followed by a layer of Parmesan cheese.
• Bake casserole until cheese has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• In a bowl, combine onions, crumbs & cheese; add beef and mix well.
• Shape beef into 1-inch balls; place on rimmed cookie sheet; bake for 15-20 minutes (no longer pink in center); turn oven down to 350.
• Meanwhile, arrange bread cubes in an UNgreased 13x9 pan.
• Combine cream cheese, mayo, seasonings, and S&P; spread over bread.
• Sprinkle one cup Mozzarella cheese over the cream-cheese mixture layer.
• Combine sauce, water & garlic; add meatballs and gently mix; pour this over the cheese layer.
• Sprinkle remaining Mozzarella.
• Bake (uncovered) at 350 for 30 minutes (top will be bubbly and quite fragrant).
• OPTIONS: Use half Cheddar and half Mozzarella; try some sliced black olives; sprinkle some grated zucchini in for added nutritional value (and get a few veggies past the kids!--it's the secret ingredient).

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine onions, crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Add beef and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls; place on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, arrange bread in a single layer in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish (all of the bread might not be used). Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and pepper; spread over the bread. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella.
• Combine sauce, water and garlic; add meatballs. Pour over cheese mixture; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6-8 servings.
