Meatball Sub Casserole step by step
- Preheat oven to 400°F..
- In a large mixing bowl, combine onions, bell peppers, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese..
- Add beef and mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place on a rack on a shallow baking sheet with sides. ( I use cookie sheet ).
- Bake at 400°F until no longer pink in the middle. Usually 15 to 20 minutes..
- Reduce oven to 350°F..
- In a 9x13 ungreased baking dish, arrange the bread slices in a single layer..
- Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and black pepper..
- Spread evenly over bread slices and top with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese . I like using both mozzarella and parmesan cheese together..
- Combine spaghetti sauce, garlic and water, Add meatballs. Stir well to coat meatballs well..
- Pour over bread and cheese mixture evenly. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese..
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30 minutes or until heated through..
- If your in a hurry, you can also use the frozen meatballs, thawed to save time. I like using marinara sauce also in place of spaghetti sauce. Good either way..
- I grill up the leftover bread to use to soak up all the sauce :).
