I found this very easy to make. I used low fat mayonnaise and non fat cream cheese. It still tasted really good. I sent this to my daughter for her hungry boys. Donna A.

My family loved this! I used my own meatball recipe, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. It was not soggy or mushy and none of the flavors were overwhelming. The flavors meld together wonderfully. Other reveiws had suggested that this was labor intensive, but I found it easy to put together.

This was pretty good. I toasted the bread first and it still came out soggy. The flavor made up for that though. I used premade frozen meatballs because I am always in a hurry! Next time I will toast both sides of the bread first and put the cream cheese mixture on before cutting up the bread. That took way too long.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT WAS GREAT EXCEPT THAT THE BREAD WAS SOGGY. NEXT TIME I MAKE I WILL DO THE BREAD SEPERATE, THAT COATING WAS VERY TASTY. THIS WAY BREAD STAYS CRISP AND DON'T HAVE TO EAT MUSHY BREAD.

My DH and I made this for a potluck and it was "just ok". We took the advice of other reviewers and toasted the bread and then spread the cream cheese mixture on it before cubing; we also reduced the amount of mayo to 1/4 cup and omitted the water altogether. Apart from this, we followed the recipe exactly and in the end we found that there was too much cream cheese but the other flavours were good. I might try to make this again, but would add more garlic, some parmesan cheese and less cream cheese mixture.

I've made this recipe a couple of times, just cam accross it again, and realized that I have never written a review. We liked this, however, it was a little labour intence, and a bit rich. Not that that always a bad thing. It's a nice hearty meal if you've got the afternoon off to prepare it. Like I said, I've made it a couple times, so obviously it's a hit in our house!

Another winner of a recipe!! This is fantastic and tastes just like an Italian meatball sandwich. I make no adjustments to this recipe. Thank you, this is SO good!

The meatballs were fantastic. I added egg because I was having trouble getting them to stick together. The meatballs and sauce were delicious, but my husband and I didn't like the cheese mixture & the bread. I didn't expect it to be so rich. I know the casserole is the whole idea of this recipe, but I liked the meatballs so much, I think next time I'll ditch the bread/cheese/mayo mixture and just serve the meatballs & sauce like regular spaghetti with garlic bread.

My family devoured this dinner! It was delicious and the leftovers were great too! I had forgotten to buy Italian bread so I used regular white bread and it worked just fine! You really need to try this recipe!

We really liked this! I needed to use up a loaf of Italian bread and was looking for something different. I followed the recipe closely and the only alterations made were per other reviewers....I used 1 1/2 lbs ground beef, 1/4 c mayo, and no water. I also toasted the bread under the broiler, spread cream cheese 'blend' over toasted bread, then cut into cubes. It came out perfectly with the modifications. I would have rated this a 5, but when I mentioned this dish a few days later no one could remember eating it. I had to remind them what it was.

We thought the meatballs were rather bland...and 1 lb of the Italian bread loaf was just too much. I used half of the loaf..cubed...and should have taken the advice of someone else and put the mayo mixture on it before I cubed it because it was very hard to spread it on the cubed bread. Might try it again sometime with a few changes.

Very tasty. My husband thought the bread was a little soggy, but compared to another similar recipe, I didn't. It made a lot of food, but the leftovers were good too. I did toast the bread under the brolier before coating it with the cream cheese mixture.

I took the advice of some others and omitted the water, and only used half the required mayo. I also added some italian seasoning to the sauce and sliced the italian loaf lengthwise and lightly browned and spread the cream mixture over the bread prior to cubing. My daughter's boyfriend loved this.
