Meatball Sub Sandwich Casserole


1. Preheat oven to 400.

2. In a bowl, combine onions, crumbs & cheese; add beef and mix well.

3. 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.

4. Meanwhile, arrange bread cubes in an UNgreased 13x9 pan.

5. Combine cream cheese, mayo, seasonings, and S&P; spread over bread.

6. Sprinkle one cup Mozzarella cheese over the cream-cheese mixture layer.

7. Combine sauce, water & garlic; add meatballs and gently mix; pour this over the cheese layer.

8. Sprinkle remaining Mozzarella.

9. Bake (uncovered) at 350 for 30 minutes (top will be bubbly and quite fragrant).

10. 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).
