Yum! I knew this would be good, but MAN, was it GOOD. I couldn’t stop eating it! I made my own recipe meatballs and used canned sauce, which next time I will use my homemade sauce. I loved the cream cheese layer of the casserole. SO tasty! Can’t wait to make this again!
This did not go over so big at my house…I thought it was good but think I will stick to making the meatball subs the old fashion way
Did not like it. I toasted the bread first like people suggested and it still was soggy. I forgot to put it in the fridge and the next morning I wasn’t to mad to find it on my counter and throw it away.
My family did not like this recipe. Sorry
Easy and good. My kids really liked it
Quite good.We left the water out and the bread was nice and crispy.Thanks for sharing
