Meatball Sub Casserole

This weeks recipe is something super easy and really quick. Honestly something I don't do very often when i cook. But it was super delish! My husband was in love with it. Hoping to have some super yummy recipes next week as i prepare my Christmas goodies. Enjoy!

1 loaf Italian or Cuban style bread ( any fresh bread with a good crust will do)
1 lb bag frozen pre cooked meatballs ( this instance i actually grabbed a 2 lb bag. so if you like it meaty use the whole 2 lb and if you like it a little saucy then use half that bag)
1 oz container softened cream cheese
1/2 mayo
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups shredded mozzarella
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 jar ragu

Preheat oven to 350. I toasted my bread so while the oven was heating i sliced my bread up in about 1 inch slices and laid them in the casserole dish, just as many as would fit. it depends on how wide your bread it and then took an extra slice and tore off small pieces and filled in the gaps between the pieces of bread.
Then placed the bread in there about 5 minutes.

Take your mayo, cream cheese, and seasonings and mix them together until you have an even consistency. Remove your bread from the oven and spread your cream cheese mixture over it. Sprinkle about  1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top.

In a separate bowl mix your pasta sauce and meatballs . Pour over the top of the bread and cheese and even out. Top the rest with remaining cheese and cook for 30 minutes until brown and bubbly.
