ready for a Tuesday afternoon RANT?? of course you are...we are all not of the same financial means, or the same ethnicity, or talent with cooking..i get it..but THIS RECIPE is why I post so much about food..this could be the worse violation of an Italian/Italian-American or any dish I may have seen so far...Extraneous ingredients which add nothing but salt, fat, and bad taste to the dish and its all premade and just popped together..the amount of whats bad as far as ingredients plus salt, fat, sugar is off the charts..i cant imagine the horror of what it would taste like Tomato (pasta sauce) with mayonnaise or AND cream cheese???...all pacakaged products...plus the insult to any Italian cuisine on this..its wrong from top to bottom...please discuss but saying that you are in a hurry is no excuse...Mcdonalds would be a less offensive dinner health wise, and it would at least taste better: Meatball sub casserole Loaf of French bread/hoagies Butter or margarin 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (omitted from photo) 8 oz of cream cheese, softened to room-temperature 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning 1 pound of frozen, fully cooked, thawed Italian meatballs (NOTE: it is often sold in 2 pound bags so use only 1/2 a bag.) 1 can Hunts Spaghetti Sauce (any flavor, our favorite is Garlic & Herb) 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Turn oven on to broil. Slice the French bread into thick one inch slices. Butter one side lightly. Place on a cookie sheet with buttered side up. Repeat with the remainder of slices. Very lightly sprinkle the bread with garlic salt. Broil until toasty on the edges. Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 metal or glass pan with cooking spray. Place bread (toasted side up) into your 9×13 pan. Fill it up leaving very few gaps; cut one slice into pieces if necessary to fill large gaps. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Italian seasoning using an electric mixer until smooth (be sure to scrape down the sides of your bowl). Using a spatula, spread the mix over all the bread slices creating a sheet of the cream cheese mix. Cut the thawed meatballs in half sprinkling them all over the cream cheese mix. Pour your can of spaghetti sauce evenly over the meatballs. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the spaghetti sauce. Bake for 30 minutes until heated all the way through and cheese is golden and bubbly.
