Meatball Sandwich Casserole

I got this recipe from Moms Crazy Cooking. It was very good. I used french bread to make ours. My husband said it was good but next time wants me to add pepperonni and some parmesan cheese to it. =)

Meatball Sandwich Casserole

Meatball Sandwich Casserole
idea found at Pearls, Handcuffs & HappyHour

1 Baguette French Bread (cut into 18-24 slices)

Olive Oil

1 pkg Homemade Comfort Meatballs (or frozen), bite sized

1-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 350. Meanwhile, slice your bread. Brush each slice with olive oil on one side, just coat with pastry brush. Line the bottom and the side with the bread slices...oil side up...slightly overlapping the slices on the side. You won't need to grease your dish for this recipe. Use a deep casserole dish, I made the recipe in a smaller 8x8 pan - but depending how much you want to make you can use a 9x13 pan too.

Bake bread for about 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. In a separate bowl, mix meatballs & spaghetti sauce to coat (this is a perfect recipe for left over spaghetti and meatballs too). Remove the bread from the oven and spoon the meatball mixture into the dish on top of the bread. Return to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until thoroughly heated through in the center. Pull out at about 25 minutes and cover with the mozzarella cheese and baked it for another 5 minutes.
