No reviews

A hearty and easy-to-make meatball sub casserole with garlic bread, spaghetti sauce, and melted cheese.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen garlic bread
  • 2 (24 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
  • 40 Italian-style frozen meatballs
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Heat garlic bread with spread side up on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until warm and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Bring spaghetti sauce to a boil in a large pot. Place frozen meatballs into sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meatballs are heated through, about 20 minutes.
  5. Tear garlic bread into bite-size pieces and spread into bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour spaghetti sauce and meatballs over garlic bread, coating bread with sauce and distributing meatballs evenly. Spread mozzarella cheese over top in a layer, followed by a layer of Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake casserole until cheese has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Notes

  • Use thick garlic bread to prevent sogginess.
  • Fresh or thawed meatballs work if frozen ones are unavailable.
  • Prep ingredients ahead for quicker assembly.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
