There are several versions of meatball sub casserole online and after several attempts, we created a version we love. We now keep our Meatball Sub Casserole in our monthly dinner rotation! First off, it is super easy . . . and by now you should know “easy” is how we roll at the Pack household! Secondly, it requires very little ingredients. Third, the flavor explosion will knock you out! As you can tell in the pictures, we broke out the fine china for this dish, lol. So here goes . . .

having a party with large group. Can I prepare this dish a day or two before the party?
Not certain? I haven’t made it in advance. I would worry the bread would get soggy. If you try it, let us know how it turns out! Good luck!
Can this be frozen once it is cooked
I would think you could. Reheat in the oven at a low temp would be my only suggestion. Let us know how it turns out if you try it!
I want to use this recipe for my potluck and i was wondering if i have a serving of 36 what would the recipe look like?
Hi Marlena! I would just triple this recipe and make 3 pans 🙂 Good Luck!
This was the best! The only issue was cutting the bread. Have you ever made it with tearing the bread first?
We buy the pre-sliced bread at the discount bakery around the corner. Let me know how it works out for you if you tear the bread first 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed day!
My family LOVED this. I used bread like pictured and I also used frozen precooked meatballs, which I’m not crazy about usually. The bread remained crispy on the bottom and the flavor was really good. Thank you.
It’s crazy good! Some folks don’t know what to think of the filling but it is so tasty 🙂 Thanks for your feedback! Have a blessed week!
Oh wow, this recipe is incredibly good! We made this last night and there are ZERO leftovers 😦 ! On a whim we substituted the french bread, for garlic bread/Texas toast and boy was it delicious!!!!
Yum! What a great idea to use garlic bread/Texas toast! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Can Miracle Whip be substituted for the mayo. We don’t use mayo and hate to buy a jar just for this.
I don’t think that would be a good substitution but I’m also a mayo fan versus Miracle Whip gal lol. But in all seriousness, Miracle Whip’s sweetness would definitely change the taste and I’m not certain for the good. Sorry. 😦 If you try it, let us know how it turned out! Have a great day!
I would suggest picking up a couple of mayo packets at a fast food restaurant. They usually hold about a tbsp. If you like the results, you could then buy a small jar. It lasts a long time in the fridge.
