Ingredients

  • 1 bag (16 oz) frozen cooked Italian-style meatballs (about 32 meatballs)
  • 1 jar (26 oz) marinara or tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 loaf French bread (1 lb)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)

Steps

  •  
    1
    In large microwavable bowl, place meatballs. Microwave on High 3 minutes. Cut meatballs in half; return to bowl. Stir in marinara sauce. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave on High 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until hot.

    Meanwhile, set oven control to broil. Cut bread in half crosswise; cut each in half lengthwise, making 4 pieces. Place bread, cut side up, on ungreased large cookie sheet. If desired, toast lightly under broiler.
  •  
    3
    Spoon hot meatballs and sauce evenly onto bread. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. To serve, cut each piece in half.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Line the cookie sheet with foil for less mess. Any runaway sauce or cheese won’t bake onto the cookie sheet.
