Ingredients:

• 1 pack frozen meatballs, defrosted
• 1 jar marinara or spaghetti sauce
• 3 cups of water
• 1 box Bowtie pasta
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

How to Create Dump and Prepare Meatball Casserole:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a high-sided oven-proof pot or skillet, combine the defrosted meatballs, jar of sauce, water, pasta, and Italian seasoning. Mix everything together to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
3. Cover your creation and let it bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes. This step allows all the flavors to meld and the pasta to cook to perfection.
4. Once the initial baking time is complete, uncover the casserole and sprinkle it generously with Mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
5. Return the casserole to the oven and let it bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a delicious golden crust.
6. After removing it from the oven, let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This brief resting period allows the flavors to settle and ensures that each bite is as satisfying as can be.

With these simple steps, you’ve created a Dump and Prepare Meatball Casserole that’s not only convenient but also absolutely scrumptious. It’s a perfect meal to satisfy your family’s cravings and make weeknight dinners a breeze. Enjoy every bite of this hearty, pasta-filled delight!
