Make Something Monday- Meatball Sub Casserole. I of course had to try it out :). LOVE it! Enjoy!

Meatball Sub Casserole
Ingredients
Meatballs:
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound ground beef
------------------------------------------
1 loaf Italian bread, but into 1 inch slices
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayo
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 jar (28 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
2 garlic cloves, minced

Arrange bread in a single layer in an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish (all of the bread might not be used). Combine cream cheese, mayo, 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 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated through.

NOTE: Do not use light or fat-free mayonnaise! ... Ok so I only had light and used it, it wasn't bad but I'm sure it would have been better withfull fat! :)

  8. You could use olive oil instead of the mayo and it would work fine.
    You just need something to thin the cream cheese.

  16. YUM! This would go over SO well-especially with Rich!

    By the way-I've tried 2 more recipes you've posted! I made the Creamy Corn Bake (with real bacon though) and the Stuffed Meatloaf (with ground beef) and they were both amazing! Thank you so much for posting those-yum, yum, yum! I might have to get that cookbook ;-)
