How to Make Meatball Sub Casserole

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

sub rolls

🥗Healthier: whole grain rolls

💰Cheaper: baguette

Whole grain rolls offer more fiber, while baguette is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

meatballs

🥗Healthier: turkey meatballs

💰Cheaper: beef meatballs

Turkey meatballs are lower in fat, while beef is often cheaper.

In a large saucepan, add the pasta sauce and the meatballs, then stir to combine.

Cook until the meatballs are heated through.

Combine minced garlic with olive oil and brush it on the thinly sliced baguette.

Spoon the meatballs into a casserole dish.

Add the blended cheeses (mozzarella and parmesan) on top of the meatballs.

Sprinkle additional parmesan on top for added color and flavor.

Dot the casserole with Italian style diced tomatoes.

Line the bread slices around the dish to create a border.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
