This recipe is a combination of a couple that I’ve tried before.  I’ve got some fussy eaters and some sensitive ones in my household so I tweak things to suit.  This particular recipe turned out fantastic.  You can modify it for gluten-free diets.  I used gluten-free bread and made my own meatballs with gluten-free pancake mix instead of bread crumbs and they are just as delicious.  We will often make a huge batch of meatballs ahead of time and freeze them for just such recipes.  For quick preparation, the pre-packaged frozen meatballs are great too.  Whichever suits your taste and needs.

 

Ingredients:

6 slices of bread

1/4 cup mayonnaise or whipped salad dressing

1/4 cup chopped onion

24 frozen Italian meatballs

2 can  pizza sauce

1/4 cup water

1 clove garlic minced

1 cup of cheddar cheese

1 cup mozzarella

 

Preparation:

1.  Preheat oven to 350º .  Grease a 9 X 13 baking dish

2.  Spread mayonnaise onto bread slices and place on the bottom of the baking dish

3.  Sprinkle onion and cheddar onto bread slices

4.  In a mixing bowl, combine meatballs, sauce, water and garlic

5  Pour mixture onto bread slices

6.  Sprinkle top with mozzarella

7.  Bake 30 minutes

I served this with corn on the cob because it is in season and we live out in the country so there are fresh-from-the-field stands all over.  It was a hit!  I might also recommend serving this with a simple garden or Caesar salad if you don’t have anti-salad folks like I do.  Enjoy!
