This was a great recipe! I loved the cream cheese mixture in it! I used pre-made meatballs that I had left over in the freezer and used regular sliced bread that I put in the oven for 5 minutes to toast. I used 1/2 C. water with the spagetti sauce, and added the parmesean on top of the mozzarella. This recipe is a keeper in our house! Delicious! Thank you so much!

I have made this several times. I got the recipe out of a Quick Cooking magazine originally, but lost my copy and found it here on Zaar. I am surprised to see so many reviews that the bread was soggy. I think the trick must be to make sure you cover the bread evenly with the cream cheese mixture, and fill any little holes with the mozzerella cheese. This is a fabulous recipe just the way it is written. I would not change a thing. Thanks for posting and saving my dinner!!
