1/4 cup Italian-style dried bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 pound ground beef
1 pound loaf Italian-style bread, cut into 1" pcs
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
28 ounces spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced |
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Mix together onions, bread crumbs, cheese and ground beef. Roll into 1 inch diameter balls, and place in a baking pan. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink. Reduce the oven temperature to 350° F.
Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish. Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and black pepper until smooth. Spread this mixture over each bread cube. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the grated mozzarella cheese.
In a large bowl, mix together spaghetti sauce, water, and garlic. Gently stir in meatballs. Pour over the bread and cheese mixture in the baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake at 350° F for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
