Walking on the Man side of dinner

One of the manly requests in the house is meatball subs. Only issue is when feeding 7 people how to make it a cheap meal because it is already super easy. I saw a couple ideas on Pinterest and this is what I ended up with. Easy , tasty and feeds a crowd ... or my family. 

Meatball Sub Casserole


List of players

1 loaf of italian bread , Sliced (16 slices) and cut into cubes
1 bag of prepared meatballs , thawed
8 oz cream cheese , room temp
1 cup mayonnaise 
2 tbls dry Italian seasoning
32 oz of your favorite spaghetti sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray two 13x9 baking dishes with oil. 
Layer your cubed bread evenly into the bottom of both dishes trying to make a single layer with not much overlapping. 
Mix  the cream cheese, mayo and seasoning in a bowl. Spread this mixture evenly onto the bread cubes of both pans. This is a fun task that is worth it use a metal spoon .... it helps. :D
Pour spaghetti sauce into a large bowl.
Cut each meatball in half and add to spaghetti sauce. 
Pour the meat and sauce evenly onto the layers in pans.
Top with shredded cheese 
Bake in oven for 25 - 30 min or until bubbly
