I love me my comfort food! And, I was all excited to see I had all of the ingredients for this yummy recipe. I know, the picture isn't the greatest, but believe me, you will love it! Miss Mia actually asked for seconds!
The original recipe calls for an entire loaf of French Bread. I only used 1/2 of a loaf, but it will depend on how thickly you slice your bread. Also, the original recipe calls for a bag of frozen meatballs. Homemade will work just as well - especially as you can sneak in some extra veggies in your homemade ones! I also cut the meatballs in half but will cut them into 4ths next time - just because I have little ones in the house. Another modification was the cream cheese - I used around 6 oz instead of 8 and it was low fat cream cheese.
