I Could Eat This Every Week!

There are so many days when i find myself super busy with the hustle and bustle of life that I forget all about making dinner. There are also those days where I know I’m going to be busy and I need to get something started in the morning as I won’t have time to make a meal later on in the day. That’s when recipes like these come in handy.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb ground beef
1 loaf Italian bread cut into 1 inch slices
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
1 (28 ounce) jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a bowl, combine onions, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Add beef and mix well.

Reduce oven temperature to 350.

Meanwhile, arrange bread in a single layer in an ungreased 13×9 baking dish. (All of the bread might not be used.).
