Meatball Casserole

One Pan Meatball Casserole is a delicious, dump-and-bake family favorite that’s perfect for busy nights! It’s also a fantastic freezer meal, and I’ve adapted it for both the slow cooker and instant pot.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 baguette, sliced
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cups marinara sauce

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture into meatballs.
  3. Cook the meatballs: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches, about 6 minutes per batch, until fully cooked. Drain any excess oil.
  4. Prepare the casserole base: Grease a baking dish. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on the bottom.
  5. Garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush the baguette slices with this mixture.
  6. Assemble the casserole: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella over the baguette. Add a layer of marinara sauce, followed by the cooked meatballs. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
  7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting dish!
