Ingredients:
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1 inch thick slices
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 lb. pkg. fully cooked frozen meatballs, thawed
1 jar (28 oz.) pasta sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degree. 

Arrange bread slices in a single layer in an ungreased 9x13 baking dish.  Fill in the gaps with smaller pieces of bread.  

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and seasonings.  Spread mixture over bread slices.  Sprinkle with 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese.

Gently mix together pasta sauce and meatballs.  Spoon over cheese.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes.

Note~  You can toast the bread slices before putting them on the bottom layer if you are worried about them getting too soggy.
