When you want to deliver comfort there’s nothing like a Spaghetti & Meatball Casserole of Love!
Nice big tender Italian Meatballs nestled into bed of spaghetti wrapped in a blanket of sauce & cheese.
It’s amazing how one casserole dish can bring a family together.

Relatively wordless Wednesday Post. Soooo.
I walk a lot. It’s my time to silently talk through things and exhale. My time. During walking my brain churns which often inspires new recipes. These Chicken Parmesan Meatball Sliders were the walking brain child inspired by these…

So off to Pinterest Wonderland I went. Whoa. The choices are vast, diverse, and oh so cheesy. Hot Pizza Dip sounded too good to pass up.
There’s the seasoned cheese layer, your favorite marinara sauce, favorite toppings, then more cheese. Off to the oven we go. Ezzy-pizzy.
