1 pkg frozen meatballs
1 loaf french bread, sliced 1 inch thick
1 jar pasta sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayo
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Cook frozen meatballs according to package directions. Meanwhile, place bread slices on the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. Mix cream cheese, mayo, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Spread cream cheese mixture over bread slices being generous. Place meatballs over bread slices, pour pasta sauce over meatballs, and top with shredded mozzarella. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

*I used one portion of homemade turkey meatballs instead of frozen. Since they were already cooked, I just thawed them and warmed them slightly first. I also used a "fat" loaf of french bread, which ended up making two pans (9x13) worth of bread slices, and the cream cheese mixture was plenty to cover all of the bread slices. I made one pan completely and baked it and we had it for dinner. Yummy! The other pan, I covered the bread slices with the cream cheese mixture and then topped with another batch of meatballs and proceeded to cover and freeze. I decided to add the pasta sauce and mozzarella when baking later. This was a very yummy meal and was a hit with all.

**Note: I was worried when I dug into this and some of the bread was notably soggy. This didn't affect the yumminess of the recipe at all.
