1
10 oz loaf
Italian bakery bread
1
23.5 oz jar
Marinara sauce
½
teaspoon
Italian seasoning
1-½
cups

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove meatballs from packaging and place in a large skillet or sauce pan.
Add the marinara sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
Heat covered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use a sharp knife to remove the top of the bread to create a bowl.
Spoon as much of the loose sauce from the meatballs into the bread bowl. Spread 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add the meatballs to the bread bowl. Top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top with Parmesan cheese and serve.
