This recipe is a great way to use up leftover meatballs. I usually make a big batch of meatballs on the weekend and then use them in this casserole during the week.

I'm not a fan of Italian food, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! It was actually really good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The meatballs were dry and the sauce was bland.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I loved it in this casserole. It added a nice texture and flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I also added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery.

This is the best meatball casserole I have ever had! It was so flavorful and cheesy. The zucchini added a nice touch of freshness. My whole family loved it!
