Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
⅓ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch slices
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix ground beef, green onion, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl; form into 1-inch meatballs. Arrange meatballs in a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Arrange bread slices in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a bowl; spread over bread slices. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over the cream cheese mixture.
  • Combine spaghetti sauce, water, and garlic in a bowl; add meatballs. Pour spaghetti sauce mixture over bread. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The meatballs were a little dry and the sauce was a bit bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole didn't turn out at all like the picture. It was a big disappointment.

This casserole was a disaster! The meatballs were tough and the sauce was watery.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef and added some chopped spinach to the sauce.
