Recipe by: Candace
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
1/2 bag Frozen Meatballs
1 French Bread Loaf
1/2 stick Butter (softened or melted)
1 jar Marinara
2 Cups Mozzarella (shredded)
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Heat up your meatballs per the instructions on the package.
Cut a rectangle strip out of the top of the French Loaf. Leave space at the ends to hold the meatballs in. Keep the top that you cut since you will need it later.
Remove some of the bread inside the roll to make room for the meatballs.
Put the loaf in a baking dish.
In a bowl combine the butter, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and parmesan cheese.
Brush the mixture on the inside of the French bread.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella into the bottom of the loaf.
Pour some of the sauce over the mozzarella in the bottom of the loaf.
Add the meatballs. Try to fit as much as you can. I like to cut the meatballs to fit more in.
Add more Sauce and cheese on top of the meatballs.
Take the strip of bread that was removed from the center and place it on top of the opening to close it up.
Brush the remaining garlic butter mixture all over the outside of the French loaf.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven to cool.
Enjoy!
